GENDER AND CLASS IN SALLY ROONEY’S NORMAL PEOPLE
Abstrak
Normal People (2018), novel karya Sally Rooney, menghadirkan isu gender dan kelas melalui penggambaran dua perspektif berbeda dari tokoh utamanya, Connell dan Marianne. Artikel ini mengkaji bagaimana novel ini menggambarkan isu gender dan kelas yang digambarkan melalui hubungan Connell dan Marianne sebagai pasangan. Dengan menggunakan teori naratif Bal dan Genette, serta teori Haslanger dan Raewyn Connell tentang gender dan teori Bourdieu tentang kelas sosial, artikel ini berfokus pada cara diskriminasi gender dan kelas memengaruhi hubungan Connell dan Marianne. Temuan dan pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa penindasan yang dialami Marianne terkait dengan internalisasi penindasan, seksisme, dan misogini. Pembahasan dalam artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa maskulinitas hegemonik juga berperan dalam hal bagaimana perbedaan kelas Connell dan Marianne dihadirkan. Meskipun Marianne lebih superior dalam hal kelas, ia lebih inferior dalam hal gender daripada Connell yang berasal dari lingkungan kelas pekerja. Namun, novel ini menyajikan bagaimana persepsi karakter utama berubah karena pada akhirnya mereka tidak lagi mempermasalahkan gender dan kelas mereka. Kami berargumentasi bahwa novel tersebut tidak setuju dengan perasaan inferior yang disebabkan oleh perbedaan gender dan kelas.
