The novel, like other types of literary works, contains various messages from the author to the audience, regardless of whether they are explicitly stated in the story (Aisyah, 2021: 1). The novel came to be accepted as a new narrative form in the second half of the twentieth century, with a greater emphasis on analyzing both its formal components and cultural influences.

In the novel there were also characteristics that explain what a novel was by looking at its main characteristics, without these three characteristics it was difficult to identify that the work was a novel.
Patriarchal System
All books contain realism, whether in the form of a universal human feeling or connection, a historical setting or time period, or an explanation of how individuals interact with their surroundings. In The Other Sex, de Beauvoir examined what had classified women as society's "other," as well as how existential bad faith and uncertainty play a role in the objectification process. Beauvoir argued that there were biological aspects that were not present in a woman's real relationship.
Although patriarchy had a broad meaning, it did not exclude the possibility of increased public awareness, the evidence was that in recent years violence against women continued to be perpetrated by men. In the last 12 years, feminist sociological studies of various types of male violence against women that highlight the concept of patriarchy have leveled off or worsened, despite their contribution to some of the most important scientific achievements on the subject (DeKeseredy, 2020: 1). Patriarchy came to the surface because of the war that sees there was still very little presence of women in certain fields.
The patriarchal social system and structure placed women in a position where they were not equal to men and believes that the political arena is the realm of men. This was the reason that women's opportunities to become MPs were limited. Since man was aware that not all of his activities could be carried out outdoors, houses were the physical embodiment of the living tradition.
The dominance of men and women in specific rooms, as well as the duality in some parts of the house, are visible.
Existentialist of Feminism (de Beauvoir 1949)
Beauvoir claimed that only men could express the latter, while women were obliged to live a life of immanence that was not creative. Many of de Beauvoir's theories and thoughts were contained in her book The Second Sex, which was officially released in 1949. Simone de Beauvoir successively described her position in a very fundamental way, starting from data biology.
Beauvoir said that woman was very easy to define: she was a womb, an ovary, and of course she was a woman. In the history chapter, the Beauvoir theory of patriarchy explains that woman was dethroned by the advent of private property, and that her fate over the centuries had been linked to private property: her history was to a large extent linked to that of private property. The Heritage. Basically, women were controlled by parents, society or religion (De Beauvoir.
The following theory described the life of women today or Beauvoir, also called the formative years. Moving on from the chapter on the formative years, de Beauvoir again explained the social life, position, marital life and adulthood of a woman. But in men's defense it must be said that women should not stir up the issue.
Here it could be seen that men get irritated and put themselves on the defensive, because men did not want to be the subject, it could be concluded that this game was not fair (de Beauvoir.
