Address in a well-developed and thoroughly supported essay of 1800-2200 words:
Revolving Values: From a Marxist perspective, compare and contrast the depictions of two
proletariat characters (or speakers) from different works. Consider the ways they are treated by
the bourgeoisie, their motivations and values, and the means through which they are
oppressed. If the characters attempt to rebel at any point, what does their success or failure
show readers? In what ways do the characters’ experiences reinforce or reject specific Marxist
concepts?
