By using that method and the literary psychology principles, the data will be selected from the text of the novel before it is interpreted and analyzed. Then, the conclusion
of the data will be made to support the ideas of the researcher.
1.7 Review of related Literature
To support the idea of studying this thesis, I collected several books which related to the main object of the analysis, the book contains some informations which
is design to assist this thesis, they are: Wellek and Austin Warren 1997:73 used to understand one of the extrinsic
approach to the study of literature; the relation of literature and psychology, by “psychology of literature’, such as: the study of the creative process, and also the
study of the psychological types and laws present within works of literature, or, finally, the effects of literature upon its readers. Both of the studies become the

Wade and Carol Tavris 2007:343, gives me information that psychopath or antisocial personality disorder is the people who have absolutely no conscience. The
basic characteristic of psychopath is inability to feel the normal emotions and also the psychopaths do not have the sense of regret, and also they have no fear of
punishment, shame, guilt, and empathy for the suffering caused by themselves to others. The characteristics above clearly portrayed in Fred and Rose West in this
story. Derek Russell Davis 1984:1, explains the causes of the disorder among
others: external agents affecting the brain directly, e.g. alcohol, drug or violence producing injury; and events and circumstances outside the person which compose
his experience. In this story, Rose’s mother was consumed ECT to suffer from depression. It caused prenatal injury to Rose and she grew up into a moody teenager
and performed poorly at school. Rose also worked as a prostitute. In addition, Fred and Rose had a bad memory about their parents when they were child, Fred saw his
father had sex with his daughters, Fred also sexually abuse by her mother and Rose sexually abused by her father.
W. Lawrence Neuman 1997:331 used to understand the qualitative method and the characteristics of qualitative research, they are: importance of the context, the
case study method, the researcher’s integrity, grounded theory, process, and interpretation. In qualitative methods, understanding the context is very important. it
is emphasize for understanding the social world. The researchers hold the meaning of a social action or statement depends, in an important way, on the context in which it
appears. When a researcher removes an event, social action, answer to a question, or conversation from the social context in which it appears, or ignores the context,
social meaning and significance are distorted.

The case study method, the researcher may use a case study approach. He or she might gather a large amount of information on one or few cases, go into greater
depth, and get more details on the cases being examined. The researcher’s integrity, qualitative researchers ensure that their research accurately reflects the evidence and
have checks on their evidence. Grounded theory, a qualitative researcher begins with a research question
and little else. Theory develops during the data collection process. This more inductive method means that theory is built from data or grounded in the data.
Process, qualitative researchers look at the sequence of events and pay attention to what happens first, second, third, and so on. Because qualitative researchers examine
the same case or set of cases over time, they can see an issue evolve, a conflict emerge, or a social relationship develop. The reseacher can detect process and casual
relations. Interpretations, the data are in the form of words, including quotes or descriptions of particular events. The researcher interprets data by giving them
meaning, translating them, or making them understandable.
