Literature: Demonstrating Individual â€Å"Ideologies† while Challenging the Dominant Ideology Introduction Ernst Fischer believes that literature â€Å"always transcends the ideological limits of its time, yielding us insight into the realities which ideology hides from view† (Eagleton 8). This is mostly true because, I argue, literature per se tries to convey individual ideologies, while it tries to push beyond the limits of the dominant ideology in order for us to see more about the realities; however, we cannot really see the realities through literature, because different human ideologies, often contained in literature, are themselves produced by limited understandings. According to Marx, the word â€Å"ideology† signifies â€Å"the way men live out their roles in class-society, the values, ideas and images which tie them to their social functions and so prevent them from a true knowledge of society as a whole,† so in other words, an ideology is tightly connected to certain men’s limited perceptions when they play certain roles in the society (Eagleton 8). It is the same for literature— it is not possible for authors to consider every aspect of the society and directly write out the realities, even though they might have observed more than other people have done. After all, the authors are a genre of men, whose obtain their perceptions through their own eyes, not through some sudden divine enlightenments of truth. Moreover, the writers are themselves in the industry of literature, playingShow MoreRelatedSocial Construction of Race1867 Words   |  8 Pagesobscurity while ruthlessly establishing that which is ‘not white’† (Bernardi 38).
