 "I told you, I work for Henrik, not for the family." (380)

"I want full disclosure into this lunacy. this is my family you're mucking around in." "I told you, I work for Henrik, not for the family." Birger Vanger was apparently not used to having anyone stand up to him." (380)
Picture
In this section, Birger is mad at Blomkvist because he won't share any information with him. Birger states that he's part of the family, feeling like he's entitled to some sort of knowledge about what's going on. It's almost like he's implying that he's better than Blomkvist's and Henrik's deal and deserves to know what has been discovered. This is a clear example of marxism because Birger is well off, more so than Blomkvist at the time, and is used to using that as a crutch to get what he wants. Marxism is all about living in a world with no class systems, and Henrik shows this by hiring Blomkvist, not because of how much money he had but because he knew he was a good investigator.
