Abstract

The study aims to analyze social inequality through semiotic social codes by the main character in The Hunger Games (2012) movie. The movie tells the story of an old sister who becomes a volunteer to replace her young sister, who was chosen to become the tribute for the 74th annual Hunger Games, a life game held by a Capitol city every year. The game is about bonds between districts and remembering the capitalism of President Snow. There are two research questions in this study, namely: (1) what are the social codes shown by the main character in The Hunger Games (2012) movie? And (2) what are the social inequalities that appear in The Hunger Games (2012) movie based on the main character’s social codes? This study used a qualitative descriptive method to collect and analyze the data source. The researcher applied Daniel Chandler's Semiotic theory, which focuses on Social Codes, to answer the first research question. The researcher used Pierce's triadic model theory to reveal the meaning of social codes found. The researcher continued to identify the social inequality inside the movie using Max Weber's theory of social inequality. This study reveals that the main character in The Hunger Games (2012) movie, Katniss Everdeen, shows all the aspects of social codes explained by Daniel Chandler, consisting of 10 verbal language, 13 bodily codes, 6 commodity codes, and 9 behavioral codes. After being analyzed using Pierce’s Triadic model theory, social codes had a deeper and wider meaning that helped the researcher reveal the social inequality in The Hunger Games (2012) movie. The social inequality in the Hunger Games (2012) movie is the inequality of life opportunities between district and capitol residents which can be seen from the differences in class, status, and power. By analyzing the social inequality through semiotic social codes by the main character, the researcher can reveal more details about the problems thus it can help to reveal the solution to overcome social problems in the movie especially social inequality.
