Marx's real intention is to find a convincing way to present his findings to his potential readers (especially those craftsmen and laborers in Britain and France who rely on self-study). To this end, sometimes he deliberately simplified the theory, even to the point of fabrication. For example, although he insists that value and price are different, he often makes them look similar to make the value theory more popular with readers. For the same reason, he also popularized many Hegelian philosophical terms. The alienation of this term dominates other works he plans to write, such as Critical Outline of Political Economy, but it rarely appears in Das Kapital, let alone rummaging through the full text of the first volume of Das Kapital, and it is almost impossible to find this philosophical term.

Marx mixed literary and cultural references in the first volume of Das Kapital to ensure that his readers could understand what he wanted to talk about. Roberts also believes that Marx rarely uses the abstruse term "surplus value" alone, but often uses it together with "exploitation", probably to make his expected readers fully understand it. In Marx's time, Dante's "Hell" was widely known (william blake has proved this point), why not use it for me for free?
