COMPARE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE HUNGER GAMES AND THE MAZE RUNNER THROUGH THE MARXIST THEORY

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to illustrate the conflict between two classes which are the bourgeoisie and the proletariat according to Marxist theory. However, the thesis exemplifies two movies “The Hunger Games” part one, and “The Maze Runner” part one showing how humans try to survive. The goal of applying Marxist theory is to examine the connection between the Marxist theory and those two movies by showing how the capitalists use their authority to use the lower class’s life to a game. Through this analysis, the thesis will show how these two movies are related to Marxism, and how the bourgeoisie controls the lives of the people.
