DISKRIMINASI KELAS DAN GENDER DALAM NOVEL KASTA KARYA WITRI PRASETYO AJI
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to reveal class and gender discrimination in the Kasta novel by Witri Prasetyo Aji published in 2017 by Bhuana Sastra, Jakarta. A female figure named Ida Ayu Made Maharani (Rani) is a subject used by the author to challenge injustice or class and gender discrimination living in Balinese society. Class and gender discrimination experienced by the character Rani is that he must leave his beloved of a different class (caste) and marry a man who is equal in order to maintain his level of nobility. But the fact is, she must suffer because she is a woman (wife) who is deemed not to have the same rights as a man (husband). Meanwhile, nobility also does not guarantee one's moral dignity. The theory used in this research is the theory of feminism. Data collection is done using library techniques. The method used in this study is descriptive analysis with feminist approach. Based on the results of the critical reading using the cultural feminism approach, it was concluded that Balinese women through the main female characters in the novel sought to resist the patriarchal domination that prevailed against them.
