Abstract
The emotion of anger is one of the basic emotions that is often expressed in human communication, including
through dialogue in creative works. In novels, language plays an important role as a medium to convey the
emotion of anger through dialogue and the narrative images that accompany it. However, research on the
expression of the emotion of anger in the dialogue of Malay novels based on the emotional framework of Hude
(2006) still lacks specific attention. Therefore, this study aims to identify the forms of angry emotional
expression and analyze the way these emotions are expressed in the dialogue of Malay novels based on the
emotional framework of M. Darwis Hude (2006). This study uses a qualitative approach with the method of
content analysis on the novel Hari-hari Terakhir di Jesselton by Ruhaini Matdarin. The study data consists of
dialogues containing angry emotions along with the narrative descriptions that accompany them. The narrative
descriptions are analyzed based on the four main forms of emotional expression presented by Hude (2006),
namely voice expression, facial expression, attitude and behavior expression and other expressions. Data were
collected through purposive sampling and analyzed using NVivo software. The findings identified 91 angry
emotional data. The analysis shows that voice expression is displayed through a firm tone, shouting, swearing
and successive questions, while facial expression is shown through a sour face, staring eyes and sharp
contemplation. Attitude and behavior expressions are depicted through aggressive actions, instructions and
threats, while other expressions involve physical changes such as heaving chest, tense neck veins and startled
reactions. This study proves that the expression of angry emotions in novels is built through a combination of
verbal and non-verbal elements that complement each other in character communication even though it is
presented in the form of written text. In addition to expanding the application of Hude's (2006) emotional
framework in the field of linguistics and communication, this study also shows that novel dialogue has the
potential as linguistic data to examine the relationship between language, emotion and communication in creative
works.
