Don Quixote as seen through a Marxist Critics eyes!

Well, as you all know from the video "I am George Lucaks...no, no, no, not from star wars you fools! The marxist critic!" Haha! Ok...anyways! I very much enjoyed becoming a marxist critic, but only temporarily! I was honestly puzzled at first...how on earth does one connect marxist criticism and Don Quixote?! Well, consider it! Don Quixote wants to be a knight errant- marxist look at social hierarchy! Don Quixote does not want to pay for his stay because of his status (Well sancho pays for that one with the blanket toss!), but marxist are very concerned with economic stance and this is reflected wonderfully through the inn keepers mind!



Don Quixote is imaginative to a ridiculous extent. He has no idea what is going on through a marxist's eyes! What is this fool thinking? No...as a literature student WHAT are the marxists thinking. I had a tough time with marxism because it does not involve imagination and romanticism, it is all about the typical literature! Real life issues such as money, society, economy, class struggle with no fiction whatsoever incorporated in it!
