<![CDATA[This study discusses the Novel Fight Club (1996) by Chuck Palahniuk. This novel tells a story about the effect of chasing perfection over self-destruction and escaping desperation. These problems appear in the main character’s life, also known as The Narrator (Unnamed). In this thesis, the researcher is using two research questions. (1). What are the causes of existential nihilism that exist in the narrator's life? (2). How does the narrator escape existential nihilism to make his life meaningful? To answer these questions, there are several ways. The first way is to understand why existential nihilism appears in the life of the main character, as revealed in the novel Fight Club. The second way is by using the psychoanalysis approach by Sigmund Freud and the existential nihilism theory by Friedrich Nietzsche. The psychoanalysis approach and the existential nihilism theory will be useful for the analysis of the consciousness and unconsciousness of the narrator’s personality and environment and the active and passive nihilism to define the way the narrator tries to escape. This is shown by the narrator’s living his strange monotonous and egalitarian life and his suffering from insomnia.]]>

<![CDATA[This research is an analysis of the novel by Paula Hawkins entitled The Girl on The Train (2015). This research reveals the kinds of betrayals committed by Rachel's ex-husband and how she was able to manage her life after experiencing trauma, anxiety and depression for a long time. This research is a qualitative descriptive study that uses psychoanalysis theory and is supported by defense mechanism theory. The results of this research indicate several stages that Rachel went through to be able to rise from the adversity she experienced. The stages of recovering the betrayal that are told in this novel are; denial, anger, depression, bargaining and acceptance. These stages have a different time span for each victim, depending on the betrayal experienced and the mental state of each victim. The results of this study also reveal that betrayal can occur not because of the shortcomings and helplessness of the betrayed person, but betrayal can occur purely because the traitors do not have the value of loyalty in themselves. Therefore, no matter how perfect their partner is, traitors will never be satisfied.]]>
