Aspects of violence in human society are diverse from large-scale,all-out violences to small violences committed in familiar conventions with the abusers not knowing that they are violences. Violences in novels were mostly analyzed in relation to wars or national violences; Or, violences were often discussed in association with feminism. This paper examined some novels published in the 2000s depicting verbal violence or dealing with it as an issue.
Verbal violence is a violence doing harm to a person by the means of language and divided into direct and indirect violence. Direct aspect of violence includes swearwords, ridicules, abuses, crude languages, words of gender discrimination, and sexual expressions. Indirect aspect of violence is revealed in the form of rumors disclosing and disseminating without permission a person’s privacy or what has not been verified as a truth. The reasons why such verbal violence occurs are as follows:out of moral obligations aiming at preserving existing order such as paternalistic order or capitalist ideology; for solidarity of the community; and due to sentiment to receive compensation for unsatisfied desires. Verbal violence may lead to extreme results like murder or suicide and also reveals the weakness of the ideology guaranteeing its justice. Verbal violence also shows instability of the community the abusers intend to protect.
Meanwhile, verbal violence cruelly committed so that the victims do not have any romantic hopes destroys illusion about life and makes the victims accept their real life.
In some cases, violence becomes a means to protect one’s subjecthood and existence when one's freedom is threatened. In other words, it may be an active, positive behavior toward one's existence, a fight for existence. However, it is rare for verbal violence to bring about such positive effects.
Verbal language is the most direct method to express psychological violence and does harm to identity and self-respect of the victims. Those who are victimized by verbal violence are mentally destroyed, which is revealed as aphasia or extremely as murder or suicide. Aspects of verbal violence in novels are problematic not because of violence itself but in that they become the markers to reveal “a form of coercion hard to perceive”. It is structural violence for paternalistic order or respect for others looking “abnormal”. Violence should not be considered as the problem of the individuals using violent language or as deviant situations; Rather, the problem of verbal violence should be examined with a main focus on negative aspects it contains;
