Abstract

The article presents how feminist crime fiction writer Minette Walters searches the issue of sexual violence in her fourth crime novel entitled "The Dark Room." The authors consider sexual violence as a social problem rather than as individual crimes, and applies this to connect marriage and prostitution, which is done through characterization and parallel plots. Their strategy aims to show the events of the novel and analyze characterization. They also intend to make discussions concerning the main issues and provide suggestions on residual problems.
