Marxist Theory- "Pangako Sa'yo"

The story evolves around the love story of Angelo Buenavista, who is believed to be the son of Gov. Eduardo Buenavista and his wife Claudia, and Yna Macaspac, who was at the end discovered to be the daughter of Amor Powers, Eduardo Buenavista's former love interest. The story does not only tackle about love, but also about the importance of family, greed, politics, conflict, and money.

Marxism is a method of socioeconomic analysis, originating from the mid-to-late 19th century works of German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, that analyzes class relations and societal conflict using a materialist interpretation of historical development and a dialectical view of social transformation.

Marxist theory explains the theme of the story since it tackles about politics, which involves money, relating to the socio economic analysis of the characters: from the binary oppostion at the beggining of the story, with the rich Eduardo Buenavista falling inlove with the poor Amor, up to Amor's social transformation and challenges  as she seeks for vengeance against Claudia  who has ruined her life. The story also sets as an example of the theory since it tackles about the conflicts and the gap between the rich and the poor, the government and the commoners. It can be seen in the story on how the conflict between Claudia and Amor was intensified due to the inner desires of their hearts, Claudia on ruining Amor and taking back his husband Eduardo, which she believed to be stolen by Amor from her, and Amor for taking revenge. The conflict can be very evident, justified by business transactions and political strategies.
