This study aims at exploring class distinction and its various forms in Katherine Mansfield's short stories and comparing them with the forms of class distinction presented in Pakistani short stories "Attar of Roses", and “Mall Road" by Tahira Naqvi and M. Attar Tahir respectively. Karl Marx is a socialist who has presented a theory of class conflict. He says that there are two classes in a society such as Proletariat and Bourgeoisie. The proletariat means lower class people who are exploited by Bourgeoisie. The nature of this research is qualitative because the researcher has analyzed and interpreted the text of selected short stories against the class conflict theory given by Karl Marx. This research is important because it gives information about two different societies.
