Abstract

Radium Girls is a movie about working-class women in the U.S. in the early 20th century. This film portrays the struggle of American Radium's workers to obtain justice in a courtroom against the oppression of the factory's owner. The altercation between the workers and the owner of American Radium exhibits class conflicts in society. This study aims: 1) to describe the characters that belong to the bourgeois or the proletariat, and the consequences of being in these class divisions in the movie; 2) to describe the causes of the class conflicts in Radium Girls; and 3) to explain the class conflict resolution between the bourgeois and proletariat class. The researcher uses Marxist criticism and Thomas and Kilmann's class conflict resolution theory to analyze the movie. The results suggest that 1) Mr. Roeder represents the bourgeois that gives him wealth, power in society, with which he oppresses and exploits the laborers having small power, and vulnerable; 2) The causes of class conflicts are different interests, exploitation, and oppression; 3) The bourgeois and the proletariat applied four out of five class conflict resolution modes: competing, avoiding, collaborating, and compromising.
