Capitalism can be considered as a political system in which all the private owner’s takeover the industry for their own profit rather than for the people’s good. This system is portrayed in a harsh and rustic manner through the eyes of a Netflix series known as Squid Games. The brunt of capitalism is a global issue and is faced by many people in different areas of the world. Poverty and Inequality are two other concepts that are evident in this series, showing the meagre life of individual and their attempt to reach a position in the society. The rich on the other hand try to take advantage of the helpless situation that these poor people undergo. Class distinction is prominently visible throughout and this very distinction is what acts as an urge for the rich to manipulate them. Class strife, societal inequality, and income discrepancy are the key themes in the series. This paper attempts to analyse how the series portray the capitalist nature of South Korea and how the citizens are affected by it.
