description: Today more and more people fail to value their lives despite the fact that  the meaning of life is the core of human’s existence. Through his magnum opus A  Thousand Splendid Suns published in 2007, Khaled Hosseini tells its audience  about Mariam, the main character, whose life is full of hardship but always seems  to stand tall to face it. This research attempts to figure out (1) Mariam’s  spirituality that influences her to get a valuable life, and (2) the process that  Mariam is through in giving meaning to her life. To answer the two research  questions, this qualitative descriptive research applies psychological theory of  literature as the basis by which to analyze the character in a fiction, and to get  deeper understanding of Mariam’s search for the meaning of life, it uses Viktor  Frankl’s Logotherapy theory. Based on the in-depth analysis, this research has  found that (1) Mariam had strong spirituality which can be seen in her conscience.  Mariam’s conscience related to human (habluminnnas) is reflected by her positive  thinking to human, kindness, obedience to her parents and her husband, sympathy,  and patience. Mariam’s conscience related to God (habluminallah) is reflected by  her positive thinking to God and strong faith; and (2) Although Mariam was ever  in the state of existential vacuum, she could find the meaning of life because of  her strong spirituality. Mariam fulfilled three concepts of logotheraphy in striving  the meaningful life i.e. freedom of will, the will to meaning, and the meaning in  life through three values i.e. creative values, experiential values, and attitudinal  values.
