interpreted in Graphic novel A History of Violence. The objectives of this research are
mainly to analyze and interpret the symbolization of violence in graphic novel. The
analysis is done through panel by panel analysis, facial expressions and text analysis

chronological aspects and the tools of the violence itself. The writer discovers that
violence in graphic novel A History of Violence indicates the symbol of the hero,
manhood, comradeship, dominance, ingenuity, and insanity. From the analysis, the
