Abstract :
In this research, the writer found that the novel “Crossed” by Ally Condie, showed the social condition in capitalist society like class distinction and human exploitation. In class distinction, the class is divided into two classes; upper class and lower class. The upper classes are the Society or Institution and Officer. The lower classes are cassia, Ky, Indie and Vick. In human exploitation, it shows that lower
class is exploited by the upper class such us determining their death, activity, citizen, love, and punishment. It also showed capitalist exploitation that causes class struggle by the lower through rebellion. Class struggle showed in the novel has the same goals with Marx’s theory and Islamic perception about getting free from oppression and exploitation.
