Take a point-of-view based on the "Social Power/Marxist" Critical Lens from Deborah Appleman's book Critical Encounters in High School English: Teaching Literary Theory to Adolescents.

Essential Question is: How does this text comment on or represent class conflict?

Central Concerns are: power, economics, class, differences, fairness, society

Critical Assumptions:
1. The way people think and behave is determined by basic economic factors.
2. Class conflict is the same as political conflict.
3. The wealthy class exploits the working class by forcing their own values and beliefs upon them, usually through control of working conditions and money.
4. These ideas can be applied to the study of literature, which is a product of culture and social conflict.

What to do::
1. Explore the way different economic classes are represented in the text.
2. Determine the ideological stance of the text. (Is it radical? Conservative?)
3. Link the text to the social class of its author.
4. Consider how the text itself is a commodity that reproduces certain beliefs and behaviors. What is the effect of the work as means of control?
