While the narrator is on a quick run, Griselda gives her a “water-buckled copy of ‘Life and Fate’” (23), an easy action revealing Griselda’s affection towards the

Lelia suggests that Myriam’s decision to neglect telling her this story–which kept the mother and daughter disconnected–was due to her guilt for being the only survivor.

It might surprise readers to know that, by the use of this lens, traces of these subjects can be found in almost any work despite the original nature and intent of the tale. A prime example demonstrating the power of the Marxist lens can be seen when the lens is applied to Kate Chopin’s short story, “The Story of an Hour”.
