1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Background of Study
There have been various ways to define what literature is. Literature is a term used to describe written or spoken material. Broadly, “literature” is used to describe anything from creative writing to more technical or scientific works, but the term is most commonly used to refer to works of the creative imagination. Literature introduces us to new worlds of experience. It provides an objective base for knowledge and understanding. It also exercises our emotion through interest, concern, excitement, hope, fear, regret, laughter, and sympathy.
Roberts and Jacobs (1995:2) say, “literature may be classified into four categories or genre: (1) prose fiction, (2) poetry, (3) drama, (4) nonfiction prose.” From the four categories of literature, the writer chooses to discuss the prose fiction, especially on novel. Fiction is a name for stories not entirely factual, but at least partially shaped, made up, imagined. Novel is one of the prose fictions. It reflects a move away from an essentially religious view of life towards a new interest in the complexities of everyday experience. Sometimes, novels present a documentary picture of life. In fact, novels look at people, individual, society in which they live, and presenting characters who are at odds with the society.
informs about something more than human nature: it explains how to deal with a shipwrecked vessel if cast away on a desert islands, cook a meal or hunt whales. Today, novel has attracted interest and attention for many people, and other young generation.
Taylor (1981:46) says, “The novel was the first of the two to develop and from the end of the Neo-Classical period it was recognized as a major literary form. It is normally a prose work of quite some length and complexity which attempts to reflect and express something of the quality or value of human experience or conduct. Novel’s subject may be taken from patterns of life or as an exotic and imaginative time or place.
The work may create the illusion of actual reality or frankly admit the artificiality of its fictional world in order to direct our attention to an imaginative relationship between the subject matter or theme of the work and the real world in which we actually live. Novel BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP published in 21 century by S.J.Watson.
Altenbernd and Lewis (2007: 2-3) say, “The narrative prose fiction essays that are imaginative, but usually sensible and contains a truth that dramatizes the relationships between people.”
happened in real life. However, all was intentionally exaggerated by the author to be more attractive and much in demand by the general public.
ACENG Hasani (2005: 21)says, “In nonfiction is written by the form of data and facts. So there is no element of the author's imagination.”
In this case, ACENG Hasani imposes limits that an essay can be classified into nonfiction essay there in if there are data that can be verified. In addition, nonfiction essays have also been prepared by the facts that actually occurred in the field without any element of imagination of the author. According to the two paraghraph above that fiction and facts are different.
The novel which discuss in this paper is written by S.J.Watson wih tittle Before I go to Sleep. Steve "S. J." Watson (born 1971) Watson was born in and specialized as an impaired children. In the evenings and weekends he wrote fiction. S.J.Watson is an English writer. S. J. Watson lives in London and worked in the National Health Service for a number of years. In 2009 Watson was accepted into the first Faber Academy Writing a Novel course, a rigorous and selective program that covers all aspects of the novel-writing process. Before I Go to Sleep is the result.He debuted
in 2011 with the thriller novel
In a fiction novel, the readers will be able to know more about character. Character is the fictional people who are part of the action of a literary work . Character can be good people or bad people. The good one is remembered in terms of the good they do, their achievement or sacrifies. The bad is one usually extraordinary evil and is remembered for their terrible things to do. Character has an important role in a story. Character make a story become interesting and real.In novel, we can know wheather a novel deserve to read or no is from character. Without character, the novel is not special and nothing.
This novel tells about the abuse of mike towards christen. Christine Lucas than her actual age. She doesn’t recognize the man lying next to her. The 40-year-old in the mirror doesn’t look right. She’s not even sure where she is. Not unlike amnesia. She was in a car accident over a decade ago. Since that day, she has rebooted after every night’s sleep. She doesn’t remember anything that happened the day before, and only gets occasion flashes of memory of the past 14 years. Her husband Ben helped by photos on the bathroom wall with Post-Its like “Ben, Your Husband.” Each day, Ben explains Christine’s predicament to her, as he goes to work and she sits around the house, waiting for the next night’s restart button.

2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1 Novel
Novel is an extended fictional work in prose and usually in the form of story. The novel was originally developed in the region from other forms of narrative nonfiction, such as letters, biographies, and history. But with a shift in society and development time, the novel is not only based on data nonfiction, author of novel can change according to desire imagination. The genre has historical roots both in the fields of the medieval and early modern romance and in the tradition novel. The construction of the narrative, the plot, the way reality is created in the works of fiction, the fascination of the character study, and the use of language are usually discussed to show a novel’s artistic merit. Most of these requirements were introduced in the 17th century in order to give fiction a justification outside the field of factual story. The individualism of the presentation makes the personal memoir and the autobiography the two closest relatives among the genders of the modern histories.
attention to an imaginative relationship between the subject matter or theme of the work and the real world in which we actually live.
Reeve (1785) says, “The novel is a picture of life and manners, and of the time in which is written. The romance, in lofty and elevated language, describes what never happened nor is likely to happen.”
Watson (1979:4) says, “A novel is a way learning about how things were or are-cognitive instrument; and those who distrust stories as evidence should consider how often conversation we use them to make a points or answer questions.” It means novel has many function to inform or make a points or in some subjects of distrust stories. A work of fiction with fewer than 30,000 to 40,000 words is usually considered a short story, novelette, or a tale, but the novel has no actual maximum length. The novel is a literary prose shaped like a short story. Both novel and short story tell all events or problems that occur in human life. The difference takes place is historian. Short story kinds to be single plot and limited in member but novel is longer.
2.2 Character
In fiction, a character may be defined as a verbal representation of a human being. We can conclude characters are the persons presented in works of narrative such as novel, drama, or film who convey their personal through dialogues and action by which the reader or audience understand their thoughts, feelings, intentions, and motives. Through action, speech, description, and commentary, author portray character that are worth caring about, rooting for, and even loving. Although, there are also characters you may laugh at, dislike, or even hate.
Bonazza and Roy (1982:3) say, “Character and characterization are closely related but essentially different concepts. Character refers to one of the persons in the story-the end results of the author’s effort to create a fictional personality. On the other hands, characterizations refers to the means by which the writer creates the sum of traits, thoughts, and action which, taken together, constitute a character.
Literary characters may belong to a number of stock types: a euphoric, a romantically, a frivolous and shallow sophisticate, a mild-mannered, selfeffacing office worker, a diffident but resourceful and brave, an impractically gallant adolescent, and so on.
un a story, profit from experience and undergoes a change or alternation, which may be shown in an action or actions, the realization of new strength and therefore the affirmative of previous decisions, the acceptance of new condition, or the discovery of unrecognized truths. The round character usually plays a major role in a story. Round characters are often called the hero or heroine.
detective, the overbearing or henpecked husband, the submissive or nagging wife, and the angry police captain. Stock characters stay flat as long as they merely perform their roles and exhibit conventional and unindividual traits. When they posses no attitudes except those of their class, they are labeled stereotype, because they all seem to be cast from the same mold or printing matrix. Other concept relating to characters are static character and dynamic character or developing. The concept of static suggests the opposite with dynamic. Static character never changes. A loud, obnoxious “background” character who remains the same throughout the story is static. A boring character that is never changed b y events is also static. The concept of developing or dynamic character suggest that the character achieves a different view of life as a result of some insight gained from conflict and is no longer quite the same person as before. Dynamic character is unlike a static characters, a dynamic character does change and grow as the story unfolds. Dynamic characters respond to events and experience a change in attitude or outlook. There are two other important terms to keep in mind for describing people: protagonist and antagonist. The protagonist is the major character with whom we generally sympathize. The main character in a story is generally known as the protagonist. The character who opposed him or her is the antagonist. The antagonist is the character with who the protagonist is in the conflict. The antagonist is generally not sympathize. The character who opposed him or her is the antagonist.
Motivation in this term is the reason or reasons that cause a character to think, act, or speak in a certain way.
Character is revealed by how a character responds to conflict, by his or her dialogues, and through descriptions. Every character have different purpose such as: telling a story, as an example of a conviction, in support of certain symbols in the novel and to facilitate the development of the plot in novel. In novel, a character doesn’t need many characters. Stories, like plays, are about characters. A character that though is not real people, are drawn life. A Story is usually concerned with a major problem that character must face. This may be involved interaction with another character, with a difficult situation, or with an idea or general circumstance that force action. The character may win, lose, or tie. He or she may learn and be the better for the experience or may miss the point and be unchanged.
manner and that the author has provided them with motivation, sufficient reason to behave as they do.
Roberts and Jacobs (1995) say,” A Character is a reasonable facsimile of a human being, with all the good and bad traits of being human.
Taylor (1981:62) says that a character in a novel or play is not real human being and has no life outside the literary compositions; however well the illusion of reality has been created by the author.
Richard (1981:62) says that a character is a mere construction of words meant to express an idea or view of experience and must be considered in relation to other features of the compositions.
Reader and woods (1987) say,” The character in a good novel are interesting, interesting, intriguing consistent, convincing, complex and realistic. If the author has created a particularly vivid or individualistic character, then we, as readers, will find that character interesting regardless of whether or not symphatize with him or her.” They also explain about the way to express a character with some points that consist of:
1. What they say about themselves
2. What others say about their characters
3. What is said by the narrator or the author of their
5. The figures reaction to a particular situation
6. The character reactions to their environment
7. Physical characteristics and the shape of their bodies
8. How to dress them
9. Accent or their social position
10. The attitude of their lives
11. Their education
12. Habits and their mental condition
2.3 Plot
Plot is a simple account of what happens in a story. Another definition of plot is the arrangement of the events in a story into a causal sequence. The plot is based on the interactions of causes and effects as they develop sequentially or chronologically.
Kennedy (1991:7) says that plot is the artistic arrangement of those events. It means the most important element among other elements of fictions because a structure events arising out of the conflict. Plot is the logical interactions of the various thematic elements of a text which lead to a change of the original situation as presented at the outset of the narrative. One of the most important elements in shaping a work of fiction is plot.
Scharbach (1965:270) says, “Plot is the action of the narrative considered as an interrelation of incidents and episodes to form a story pattern.” It ordinarily means the parts of the story, the various stages of the protagonist’s conflict leading to some climax and following denouement or conclusion. Some modern “plotless” narratives still have story parts, but the design of their arrangement differs radically from the old chronological order.”
working through the skillful manipulation of all the elements that go into the making of a story.
2.4 Setting
Setting refers to the time, place, and social reality within which a story takes place. In some stories, the setting becomes a character itself. We have no understanding where we are, in which period of time, in which society and at which level at the society if we are to interpret correctly the other elements in the story.
Stanford (2003: 44) says that setting is the time and place of a literary work. Setting includes social, political, and economic background as well as geographic and physical locations. Two kinds of aspect in setting are exterior setting and interior setting. The exterior setting is aspects of setting that exist outside the character. Likewise, the interior setting is aspects of setting that exist inside the minds and hearts of the characters.
localized in a particular and known place or an unspecified and unfamiliar region, depending on the author’s particular need.
Gwynn (2002:17) says that setting is simply the time and the place of a story, and in most cases the details of descriptions are given to the reader directly by the narrator. Stories contain both specific and general setting. The specific setting is the precise times and places. The general setting of a story, its enveloping action, is its sense of the “times” and how its characters interact with events and social currents in the larger world. From the study of the setting would be known the extent of conformity and correlation between behavior and temperament with the community leaders, social, situation, and opinion of society.
2.5 Point of View
Point of view is the position from which the details of the work are reported or described. The concept of point of view introduced in the discussion on character and characterization requires a more detailed explanation because of its importance to the structure of a story.
Kennedy (1991:19) says that to identify the narrator of a story, describing any part he or she plays in the events and any limits placed upon his knowledge, is to identify the story’s point of view. This way is very important to do.
2.6 Theme
Theme is one of the fundamental components in a story or fiction. Broadly, a theme is central of idea or basic story which is become food for thought. A theme of the story relates to the practice of human life, human experience, impressive. Themes can be divided into two categories: a work thematic concept is what readers “think the work is about the subject.”
Peck and Coyle (1984:141) says that theme of work is the large idea or concept it is dealing with. In order to grasp the theme of work, we have to stand back from the text and see what sort of general experience or subject links all its details together.
Bonazza and Roy (1982:10) say, “The theme of a story is the generalization about human life that can be drawn from the outcome of the conflict and from the support provided by tone, attitude, atmosphere, setting, and symbolism, or allegory.” It means a theme like a complete expression and necessarily accurate in a story.
2.7 Abuse
Abuse is the improperly gain benefit. Abuse can come in many forms, such as: physical or verbal maltreatment, injury, other types of
Human being has ever experienced problems and abuse in their live. Abuse are feelings of pain in human mental that caused by illness, injury, or emotions. People who have abuse usually frustrate and loss experience in their live.
Gibran (1923) says that out of abuse have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars. God created the problem to test his people to be a strong human, patient, faithful, and always obey for him. Obey all of his rules and shun all of his bans.
Aristotle (347-322 BC) says that abuse becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind. Abuse can become an important course in our life. Because of all, without pain, there would be no abuse , without abuse we would never learn from our mistake. To make it right, pain and abuse is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way in life.
3. THE ABUSE OF MIKE TOWARDS CHRISTEN
3.1 Life of Christen
Christen Lucas is forty-seven year old woman who suffered a terrible assault the left her with brain damage for the past eighteen years, Christen has been unable to retain new memories. Christine Lucas wakes every morning thinking she is a carefree, twenty-something woman with a bright future ahead of
her.
“Cry out, a wordless gasp that would turn into a shriek of shock were i to let it, and then notice the eyes. The skin around then them is lined , yes, but despite everything else, i can see that they are mine. The person in the mirror is me, but, i am twenty year sold. Twenty five.

At first, the help of a doctor who specializes in memory disorders, Christine begins to keep a journal that helps her piece together her past and how
she ended up as she has.

“The Bedroom is strange. Unfamiliar. I don’t know where I am, how I came to be here. I don’t know how I’m going to get home.” (Before I go to Sleep, p, 03)
Christine finds pictures taped to the wall of herself as a much older woman and
the man in the bed who tells her he is her husband. Christine is shocked and
frightened, especially when a glance in the mirror tells her that the pictures are
accurate even though she is convinced she is only twenty-five, not forty-seven.
The man in the bed tells her he is her husband Ben, that they have been married
for many years, and that she had an accident that has left her unable to retain new
memories.
“The man is sitting up in bed, his eyes half closed.” Who are you ? “ .“I am your husband,” he says. His face is sleepy , without a trace of annoyance. He doesn’t look at my naked body. “ we’ve been married for years .” “what do you mean ?” I say. I want run, but there is nowhere to go. “ married for years? What do you mean ?” He reminds me of my father .“We got married in 1985, he says.”( Before I go to Sleep,p.06)
As Christine struggles with the loss of her child each day that she reads about it in

Comforted by what she has read, Christine prepares to go on a short vacation with
her husband. However, when they arrive at their destination, Christine realizes
that Ben has taken her to the same hotel that was the scene of the attack that left
her with her memory loss. In Ben's luggage, Christine finds several pages from
her journal and discovers that they hold the secret to her current circumstances. It
turns out that Ben is not Ben, but a man named Mike with whom Christine had a
brief affair eighteen years ago. With this knowledge, Christine suddenly
remembers the attack, remembers that Mike did this to her. Christine fights
valiantly when Mike comes into the room and somehow survives, memory intact.
However, no one knows if she will still remember after she falls asleep.
“I remembered him asking me to marry him, on holiday in Verona, and the rush of excitement I’d felt as I said yes. And our wedding too, our life. I remember it all. I smile.” I love you, “ I whisper, and close my eyes, and I sleep.”(Before I Go To Sleep, p. 363)

2. The Summary of Before I Go To Sleep
Husband.” Each day, Ben explains Christine’s predicament to her, as he goes to work and she sits around the house, waiting for the next night’s restart button.
a. From the very beginning of “Before I Go to Sleep,” this premise feels faulty, at best. As directed by scenes make it clear that this is not a film with actual characters or relatable people within it. There’s no exhaustion in Ben’s voice, as there would be having done this routine every single day. Everything about the moment reeks of manipulative set-up instead of something real, and that feeling that you’re being as played with as Christine herself. “Before I Go to Sleep” is a movie with nothing to hold on to but a paper-thin mystery with really only one of two possible suspects in the end.
b. As you can guess, there’s more to Christine’s story than Ben’s initial explanation. After her husband leaves for work, she gets a call from Dr. Nasch past few weeks. He tells her to find the digital camera in the back of her wardrobe. She’s been recording revelations every day, reminding herself of what she’s discovered about Ben, her “accident” and more. She hasn’t lost her memory from a car accident. She was brutally attacked. By whom? Why? And what else is Ben keeping from her? How much could you trust someone who you think is a stranger even if he tells you he’s not?
hasn’t justified transitioning it to the big screen. There’s no edge, no pulp, no grit under its fingernails.
d. Part of the problem is that Joffe seems bored by his own material. “Before I Go to Sleep” needed to be stylish to play like a classic thriller or edgy to replicate the sense of confusion inherent in Christine’s situation. It’s neither. The film is visually flat, disappointingly shot mostly in boring close-ups as one of the three central actors explains what’s happening now. And Joffe and his team try to increase the film’s intensity with boring, cheap sound design, with multiple occasions of trucks that barely miss Christine as she’s crossing the street or quick cuts to a loud, overhead plane. It’s supposed to be unsettling. It’s just cheap.
