Words can often express and thus represent an emotion of a person. In this analysis, the
writer focuses on analyzing the expression of fear and anger that uses the theory of Parrot
(2001) which defines fear as horror and nervousness and defines anger as rage, disgust, envy,
and irritation. This research aims to describe the words use of fear and anger expression,
theory of emotions. The data are taken from the novel ?Room? by Emma Donoghue. in this
paper, the writer finds many expressions contained in the novel that represent fear and anger.
In addition, the writer also found a case where mixed emotions of fear and anger blended into
one expression. Figurative language is used in this research to determine the context(s) used
in each of the data and what is implied from that contexts. There are four theories of contexts
quoted from Crabtree (1991). The contexts consist of Social context, Epistemic context,
Linguistic context, and Physical context. Further findings are going to be described in this
thesis.
