wrong which regarded by those who make the standart of moral. Novel is prose story telling with a great amount of detail on every page, and usually reveals
human values John Peck and Martin Coyle 1986 : 102. It means in every novel has different meaning and message from the author. And the novel that the writer want to analyze is A Man
