Unveiling the Marxist Tapestry: An Intriguing Analysis

Abstract

This study examines Marxist criticism to identify conflicts between members of different socioeconomic strata to identify social and political issues. "Waiting for Godot" (1952) exposes human suffering, the repressive consequences of contemporary capitalism, and the exploitation of people; moreover, it lays an ideological foundation by creating a reflexive mistrust of the notion that any attempt to change the existing capitalist system is absurd and worthless. The main objective of this work is to draw attention to the characters' horrible conditions, which stem from their poverty. Estragon and Vladimir are victims of capitalism because they are not able to live happy lives. And how luck has become a commodity in capitalist society. The sole purpose of this study is to highlight the horrors and cruelties that occur between the upper class and the lower class. Through its never-ending, futile waiting for Godot, the play's hero, the drama highlights how the capitalist system exploits and alienates the working class. This interpretation explores power dynamics, class conflict, and the absurdity of existence to show how "Waiting for Godot" can be read as a commentary on the nonhuman effects of capitalism and the need for revolutionary transformation.
