A Marxist reading of King Lear argues – overtly – in favour of the ruling aristocratic group and a denunciation of the new groups. A Marxist reading of King Lear reveals a juncture between the old feudal form and the emerging capitalist form of society.
don't ask me what that means. i am highly confused. so are marxists FOR or AGAINST feudalism?
in this case, is feudalism synonomous with aristocracy?
