A marxist analysis on the works Hard Times by Charles Dickens and a Day Lasts More Than a hundred years by Chinghiz Aitmatov

Throughout the history, people have worked and met their needs. Karl Marx and Frederich Engels collaborated to liquidate discrimination in their societies. They manifested a lot and finally, they partially reached their aims. Communism or Marxism became a topic for authors to indicate their social problems. Charles Dickens and Chinghiz Aitmatov were some of those authors. Dickens, from English Literature, and Aitmatov, from Kyrgyz Literature, used their pens to protect oppressed people's right. Industrialisation and Soviet regime destroyed social coherence, in such an atmosphere people could not move freely because of political enforcement. Industrialisation forced people to live in bad conditions and Soviet regime compelled citizens to obey all rules that set by Soviet government. During the age of Charles Dickens and Chinghiz Aitmatov, people could not resist against cruelty of the government, so some brave people felt themselves responsible for this issue and they became voice of people who were controlled by the system. Dickens' Hard Times and Aitmatov's The Day Lasts More Than A Hundred Years are good examples for this explanation. Both writers criticised their times' government, they protected workers' right. They used literature under the shadow of Marxism and they supported workers.
