CL+Marxist+Lens-Per+6

Claire, Lauren, Alexus, Lorenzo

We viewed //Country Lovers// through a Marxist lens. Paulus Eysendyck killed his child because of embarrassment. He believed that the child was of a lower class than himself. Paulus wanted to avoid a scandal between classes in this time period. Different classes had different morals, and having a child that had a part of both classes was a scandal at the time. Marxism is clearly represented through class diversity, struggle, and structure.
