After investigating the theory of "Mimesis", Marxist dialectic theory will be discussed and finally, Lukacs and his follower's theory will be studied due to the fact that there is no contradiction between the sociology of literature and personal literary creations since investigating of literal works without concerning its social context is impossible.
