Marxism, as a critical theory and social ideology, significantly impacts literary theory and analysis. Rooted in the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, Marxism is primarily concerned with the relations between social classes, economic forces, and the structure of society. In the context of literary theory, it analyzes the ways in which literature reflects, reinforces, or resists social and economic power structures. Marxism as a literary theory focuses on the material conditions of society, the relationships between authors and their social contexts, and the ideological functions that literature serves within capitalist systems. It challenges the notion of "art for art’s sake" and instead examines literature as an expression of the economic base and class struggles in society. Marxist literary theorists conceive literature as both a reflection of the social order and as an instrument in shaping consciousness, often guiding the oppressed toward revolutionary change.

At the heart of Marxist literary theory is the concept of base and superstructure. The "base" refers to the economic structure of society, including the mode of production (such as capitalism, feudalism, or socialism), which shapes the social relations of production. The "superstructure" includes institutions like politics, law, culture, and education, which serve to maintain the economic base. Marxist literary critics argue that literature, as part of the cultural superstructure, is influenced by the economic conditions of the time, but it can also contribute to the reinforcement or challenge of those conditions.
