Class Struggle in Alice Munro’s Selected Short Stories

Abstract

In this article, I analyze Class Struggle in Alice Munro’s selected short stories using Marxism as the main theory and Sociological theory of conflict as the supporting theory. Whilst, the method is qualitative content analysis in that I interpret and explain attitudes, behavior, and words of the characters in the texts through the theory of Marxism as the main theory and sociological theory of conflict as the supporting one. The result of this study is that the characters undergo class struggle caused by factors of their struggle. Change after the class struggle is visible, instead.

Keywords:  class struggle, conflict.
