Traditionally, the husband is considered to be responsible for earning a living for his family. He is the one who should work to provide housing, food, and clothing. He is the head of the family. Meanwhile, a wife is supposed to be at home, take care of children, do the household and obey his husband. At present, such conservative ideas in fact remain in society, even when domestic violence happens. The purpose of this study is to reveal woman’s mindset related to violence in the household depicted in Colleen Hoover’s novel It Ends with Us.
