CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Background of the analysis
Basically, literature comes from Latin Language, littera which means the smallest element of the alphabetical, refers to written or printed words.
Literature can be seen as creation of human,s activities that live in social life with all problem. Generally, literature contents of problem which complete the human
needs. That is why; it has it s own world as the creation of man to the life of it s own creation whether it is written which is useful to be understood, or used by the
societies. As said in Wellek and Warren s theory of literature:
The term literature seems best if we limit it to the art of literature that is to imaginative literature. They are certain difficulties with so employing the term;
but in English, the possible alternative such as fiction or poetry are eitmy already, pre-empted by narrow meanings or, like imaginative literature or belies
letters are clumsy and misleading. One of the objections to literature is its suggestion of limitation to written or printed literature; for clearly, any comyent
conception must include oral literature. Wellek, Warren 1997:3.
Thus, literature is the writing or study of books valued as works of arts which can be divided into three genres, such as prose fiction, poetry, and drama
Wellek and Warren,1997: 3030. Prose fiction includes novels, short stories, romances, parables, myths. In this write I want to explain about literature which is
written from the novel.
Novel is the literary from in which many us encounter sories. Novel is abundantly available; we can be bought in both bookshops and supermarket.
Novel rises something which describes the human life, although for something fictious, but it becomes as something that people may understand with the same
principle in daily life, such as psychological truth or holding the mirror up to nature, a consciousnes of moral values and many more.

In this analysis is about story of novel, we know that novel is a part of literature. So, there are two ways to analyze a literature, namely instrinsic and
extrinsic. The intrinsic unsure is everything which is included in litetature work such as, theme, characters, setting, plot, symbols, point of view and the language.
And the extrinsic unsure is everything which inspiring the writing of literature namely the background of the writer life, beliefs and point of view, also the
customs, politics, historical problems, economics and psychological life. In this writing, the writer discuss the novel through the intrinsic unsure and extrinsic
unsure, namely character and psychological life. Character is product. Characters are the figures in the book. Character is one important element in fiction,
especially novel. This element is the center role in which the story will live, be understood, and enjoyed by the readers. Without character, readers will not
understand why the action happens. Therefore, the story is mainly developed through the character with her characteristic that create a story and each of it is
portrayed in different psychological. Literature can be studed and analyzed by using the theory of psychology.
The psychology of literature, as the topic, includes almost everything we want to know about literature because literature is a product of the mind, a
particular by-product of the human psychological make up.
Psycology studies such a wide variety of human behaviours, experiences, interactions and it also suggest ways to improve the quality of human life
In paper of Loise Dudek 1974. Psychology is a half-science, and we may get further what it than if we were to approach the problem through philosophy
and theology, which dont seem to have much in the way of new insights to contribute to the enlightened modern mind.
In this writing, the writer discuses the main character which is in novel of Confessions of a Shopaholic written by Sophie Kinsella in 2009.The main
character in this novel tell about young woman named Rebecca Bloomwood who have a adaptive habbit to shopping until make her life is broken. And this novel is
