Marxism in the Grapes of Wrath

In The Grapes of displeasure by John Steinbeck, Steinbeck uses Marxist ideals to plot the long struggle undergo by the Joad family. The Joads experiences prove that the Bourgeoise poke fun their power in order to visit the Proletariats, alienating and exertioning their class to prevent revolution by forcing them to work for that enough cash. Families who had lived and worked on their land their whole lives became workless as the bank repossessed homes to delay profit. The bank had become a monster led by the Bourgeoise to exploit the families for their houses and jobs, leaving them with almost nothing.People were often forced to work with this monster in order to feed their own families, it was known for making people do what it wants (Steinbeck 34), despite who would be hurt in the process. This was a tool use to prevent the Proletariats from forming a union, because the bank isnt like a globe (Steinbeck 33) and there was no person to punish for doing them wrong. Pushed off of their land, the families moved watt where they were promised work and an easier life in return for having to give up their homes.The Bourgeoises promises fell short as more and more families migrated west, minimizing the number of jobs and money available. Their pay was repeatedly cut, reducing it to too little to feed their families. after-school(prenominal) of working, the workers were kept from each other in order to prevent unity, the primary step to a mutiny. This need to control stemmed from the Bourgeoises extremum greed to keep their power and their money by taking forth anybody elses. A divided nation is easier to control then one united. To neutralise the consequences of unity, the police would make them fear, hate, suspect each other (Steinbeck 151).This growth of frenzy among the lower class was the Bourgeoises tool of exploitation to avoid rebellion against those of higher social status. The laws in the area were bias and only in place to benefit the Bourgeo ise. If such a place of social calmness existed, the local police forces tried to find ways to sabotage and abuse the area to break the forming union. Even when migrating from place to place, members of the Proletariat were unable to course the greedy control of the Bourgeoise. They abused their powers of endless wealth and legal license to maintain their high status at the expense of those who occupied the poorer classes.
