Abstract

Though a comparative study opens up new horizons of knowledge and a vast body of literature has been published on Marxism from the perspective of comparative study but a Marxist analysis of Brecht as compared with Pakistani Urdu poet, Naaz Khialvi, has not yet been accomplished. Marxism is a theory and a method originated from the work of Marx and Engels to analyze and critique the capitalism that produced social conflict and class struggles. The present study is qualitative in nature and it uses research methodology of comparative study. The findings of this study are: i. exploration of the exploitation of the poor class; ii. reflection of Marxist inclinations in the selected poems of Brecht and Khialvi. The objective of this study is to compare the marginalized Pakistani Urdu poet Khialvi from the perspective of Pakistani capitalist society with the mainstream Marxist poet and playwright Brecht.
