Abstrakt: The term "gaslighting" is unfamiliar to some people as a form of abuse. This research uses Marcia Baron's article "Manipulativeness" to analyze the manipulation tactics that are used by male characters in the novel. The method used is a qualitative method. The results of this study are finding the forms of gaslighting tactics perpetrated by the male characters namely deception, pressuring to comply, and employing emotional vulnerability. Gaslighting makes the two main female characters in the novel hard to decide their choices and tend to doubt their decision to leave their manipulative husbands. Therefore, through this novel, Hoover criticizes that women must have the economic power to get their rights and live independently to break the cycle of abuse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
