CLASS DISCRIMINATION IN VICTORIA AVEYARD’S RED QUEEN

Abstract

This study is concerned with identifying and analyzing social classes and forms of oppression or discrimination from the upper to lower class using the ideology of capitalism. In this Victoria Aveyard’s Red Queen uses the theory of Karl Marx to identify forms of discrimination against the lower class. This study also applies the theory of Max Weber about marxism to discuss the ideology of capitalism that appears in the upper class. The results showed that the lower class received discriminatory treatment from the upper class, based on Compasito there were several acts of discrimination, there are discrimination of rejection or rejection and discrimination of restrictions (Compasito, n.d.). This study also shows that there are several social classes in society, there are the upper class is a social class consisting of people with the highest social status and the lower class is people in society who occupy the lowest social level. Thus, a discriminatory attitude of people who have power over the weak will emerge with the ideology of capitalism. This study reveals a lot of discrimination against Red Blood such as slavery, coercion, restrictions on fundamental rights and pervert facilities.
