Similarities:
Novel 1:
• In The Night Circus, the Marxist view would look at how the changes in the setting of the novel can affect its inhabitants.
• An example would be from where the circus went through a series of destruction every time Celia and Bowen united. Through the Marxist analysis, the destructive forces occur in the moments because of the conflicts between the characters.
• Both the history and the reality are affected
• Another aspect that a Marxist would look at is how the pressure from the magicians’ society affects not only their personal powers but also Celia’s powers
• If the magician’s powers are weakened, their society would collapse
Novel 2:
• A Hundred Years of Solitude through the Marxist view shows how the Buendia family’s authority would lead to destruction and could essentially alter the outcome of their town,

• They could also see how the past actions of Mr. A.H and Prospero the Enchanter affect the outcome of the circus itself. A Marxist would see it as two men exploit their very own student/child just to see who is better than the other.

NOVEL 2
• In A Hundred Years of Solitude, a Marxist would look at their society similarly to The Night Circus which is the fact that it is because of the historical pasts done by a number of factors that include their ancestors and environmental changes.
• But, a Marxist would look at this novel that is in contrast to The Night Circus is that at the end of the novel, the protagonists sacrifice themselves for the better of their society which is the circus but on the other hand, the society in A Hundred Years of Solitude is nothing else but an ancient prophecy that says their society which is the town of Macondo will never be free from isolation and that no matter how many times the next generations of their people try to get into the outside world, they will always fall back to where they started.
