Marx’s writing changed in tone and style as he became more important to society and changed who he wanted to influence from his teachers, to fellow philosophers, to fellow socialists and finally to general public. His early works, written to influence fellow philosophers, are wordy and cryptic while his later works, written for newspapers and the general public, are more entertaining and present Marx’s arguments in a different light. Although his writing style changed with his audience, the overarching themes of Marx’s writings did not change with his audience. Marx changed his writing style to suit his audiences. One of the first things a reader notices when reading an early work of Karl Marx compared to a later work of Marx is the difference in writing style.
