Abstract

This research analyzed the representation of intellectual disability and ableism in the novel “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes. The focus of the research was on the main character, Charlie Gordon, who experienced intellectual disability as well as actions of ableism towards him. The research used a qualitative method with a text analysis approach to explore how intellectual disability and ableism were portrayed in the novel. The results showed that the novel effectively portrayed the systemic discrimination and prejudice faced by individuals with intellectual disabilities, as well as highlighted the importance of inclusivity and respect for differences. The research contributed to a deeper understanding of the social impact of ableism and encouraged advocacy for the rights and full inclusion of individuals with disabilities.
