The term “proletariat” is employed in literature as a multifaceted symbol of both the oppressed masses and the seeds of revolutionary change. In works like The Communist Manifesto, it is frequently portrayed as a class defined by suffering and destined to lead social upheaval, as noted in its depiction as both a “suffering class” and a “revolutionary” force ([1], [2], [3]). Meanwhile, authors such as Theodor Herzl use the term to underscore the severe hardships and instability experienced by the lower classes, hinting at broader implications for national and social identity ([4], [5], [6], [7]). Joseph Conrad, on the other hand, infuses the concept with a more nuanced character, interacting with themes of personal struggle and societal transformation, further diversified by his occasional ironic usage ([8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]). Even Friedrich Nietzsche touches on the term, reflecting on its relation to the decay of old societal structures and the birth of new ones ([14], [15]). Together, these examples illustrate that across different literary genres, “proletariat” serves not only as a technical term in socio-economic theory but also as a powerful literary device symbolizing the clash between established orders and emerging revolutionary forces.
