Abstract

Through years, the Capitalism rules the world and causes the exploitation towards the proletariat. As the result, the proletariat starts a revolution and causes the social system alteration. This situation is particularly shown in J. M Barrie’s Peter Pan and Gerald Brom’s The Child Thief where a group of children were taken away by a boy to experience an adventure in enchanted islands called Neverland and Avalon. This study aims to analyze the portrayal of a society ruled by Capitalism and the emergence of social system alteration and its effects through the social life in Neverland and Avalon. In analyzing these literary texts, the writer uses Marxism theory from Karl Marx and supported with the method of Intertextuality from Julia Kristeva to see how through the process of absorption and transformation, these two texts bring out the issue of Capitalism and the social system alteration along with its effects for the society. As the result, the writer can see that Peter Pan story shows the society that is being dominated by a bad capitalist who over powering the whole society. This can cause the revolt came from the subordinated people and made them live the society for a better life. On the other hand, The Child Thief story came with a different effect which show that after the capitalist loses his power, the labor or the proletariat would be the one who dominates the society.
