- Title
CHAPTER 7: Planning Not to Plan: The Fantasy and Failure of Underclass Solidarity in Parasite.
- Authors
Conway, Daniel
- Abstract
The article provides an analysis of the film "Parasite" by Bong Joon-ho, focusing on the themes of social class, con artistry, and the absence of plans in the Kim family's life. It explores how the family's carefree and opportunistic approach to survival contrasts with the rigid planning and false hopes of the wealthy upper class. The downfall of the Kim family is foreshadowed through the acceptance of a gift that brings material wealth but comes at the cost of their happiness and freedom.
