Passivity
The Hollow Men have been damned for their cowardice and weakness of will, symbolised by "the Shadow. A marxist would argue that it is better to either follow good or evil then to be submissive. To do nothing and to remain submissive is pointless. Make sure you do at least something in your life whether it is good or bad compared to doing nothing because then you are participating and go to either hell or heaven rather then remaining in the Shadows. The Hollow Men are "Walking alone" and in a state of limbo meaning a state of nothing. Their neither in heaven nor hell, life nor death, they purely exist for eternity. A marxist believes that it is our duty to challenge and not to remain in a false consciousness which must question the unfair capitalist society and status quo to prevail against it. To simply do nothing is not good enough. A Marxist strongly believes that we must have some purpose in our life and strife towards either good or bad. The Hollow men are stuck between life and death and hell and heaven, they did not pick a side and did not become active. "This is the way the world ends"
