There are two theories used as the guidance of the analysis in this study, namely the theory by Perrine (1974) about the types of imagery which include 7 types of imagery, specifically visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, tactile, organic, and kinesthetic imagery, and the theory by Leech (1981) about 7 types of meaning, namely conceptual, connotative, collocative, reflective, affective, social, and thematic. The results of this study showed that all of types of imagery and the types meaning of imagery were present in the novel. Based on the finding, there are a total of 115 data classified as imagery with visual imagery as the most dominant type.
