The two fold character of labour accounts for 1)character of human labour power which creates value of commodities, 2) character of human labour power which is concrete, useful,productive and creates use value of commodities. This is called productive activity, where there is expenditure of human labour power, and labour is capable of working in multiplicity modes. Two Commodities are different from each other in terms of their value, also in quantitative terms, but The same individual puts in effort of doing two different forms of labour and is capable of producing two different products and performing two forms of labour which are different qualitatively. According to Karl Marx, there are variations in commodities and their values, so does their labour, different kinds of labour produce different kinds of commodities which are different from each other, hence Marx termed this as division of labour. Karl Marx was the first person to point out the two fold nature of labour which is incorporated in commodities. Capital: Critique of Political Economy: Book by Karl Marx
