In Marxism, the readers are urged to think outside their usual way of thinking and question the authority around them and how they as workers are treated. The main questions asked about are about the worker; who benefits, what is being gained and by who, as well as the question of how social classes affect the writing and the characters in the writing. Many of these writings subtly call for action or even a revolution but not enough for the people being revolted against to notice. WIth this being said, it can be problematic as most of the nature of this theory is kill the rich or how the rich are evil while not focusing much on the actual plot of the writing just the characters and how they interact with each other based on race and income. Without proper plot analysis this can take away a lot of necessary criticism from the story which can be very important. However, this theory can be paired with other theories such as feminism to clearly and decently analyze a reading based on plot and character development. 

Christina Rosetti and Langston Hughes both used Marxism in two major writings, Goblin Market and Theme for English B to discuss their thoughts without too much criticism. As well as Althusser and Marx who truly set the stage for those wishing to discuss differences in social classes throughout the world. Marx can be credited for starting the wave of labour revolution while Althusser was another push for authors to discuss these things in writings.
