Abstract

This study discusses trauma suffered by Megan, one of the main characters in Paula Hawkins’ The Girl on the Train. The discussion is divided into four parts i.e. Megan’s traumatic experiences, Megan’s trauma, the way Megan deals with her traumatic experiences, and the effect of Megan’s trauma towards her marriage life. In discussing the problems proposed in the thesis, some psychological theories related to trauma are applied. These theories function as a guide for the writer in revealing traumatic phenomena found in the novel. This study is a descriptive qualitative study with psychological approach. Psychological approach is applied because this study deals with a psychological issue experienced by one of the main character i.e. trauma. The result of the analysis shows that Megan experiences traumatic events that lead her to suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Megan’s PTSD is indicated through several symptoms – insomnia, anxiety attacks, avoidance and emotional reaction. To deal with her PTSD, Megan tries to involve herself with things related to her traumatic experiences like becoming a nanny and walking along busy roads with vehicles. In addition, she also tries to get some professional help. Megan’s PTSD affects her marriage life. She often has arguments with Scott who wants children from his wife. This condition makes Megan betray her husband by having an affair with another man. The affair she does eventually makes her lose her life.
