Novel adalah karangan prosa yang le

Novel adalah karangan prosa yang lebih panjang dari cerita pendek dan menceritakan kehidupan seseorang dengan lebih mendalam dengan menggunakan bahasa sehari-hari serta banyak membahas aspek kehidupan manusia. Hal ini mengacu pada pendapat Santoso dan Wahyuningtyas (2010: 46), yang menjelaskan, "Kata novel berasal dari bahasa latin novellas, yang terbentuk dari kata novus yang berarti baru atau new dalam bahasa inggis. Karena novel adalah bentuk karya sastra yang datang dari karya sastra lainnya seperti puisi dan drama. Ada juga yang mengatakan bahwa novel berasal dari bahasa Italia novella yang artinya sama dengan bahasa latin. Novel juga diartikan sebagai suatu karangan atau karya sastra yang lebih pendek daripada roman, tetapi jauh lebih panjang daripada cerita pendek, yang isinya hanya mengungkapkan suatu kejadian yang penting, menarik dari kehidupan seseorang (dari suatu episode kehidupan seseorang) secara singkat dan yang pokok-pokok saja. Juga perwatakan pelaku-pelakunya digambarkan secara garis besar saja, tidak sampai pada masalah yang sekecil-kecilnya. Dan kejadian yang digambarkan itu mengandung suatu konflik jiwa yang mengakibatkan adanya perubahan nasib".
