A novel is one form of communication. In order to be communicative there is one thing that the author should consider important in constructing a novel, that is cohesion . Cohesion is a relation of meaning within text. It is a guide that a text hangs together, that it makes sense, and is not just a jumble of sentences. Cohesion is realized through cohesive devices provided by the lexicogrammatical system of language. Therefore, we have lexical and grammatical cohesion. By using descriptive qualitative method I would analyze whether there is grammatical cohesion- cohesion that is realized through the grammar -in the novel The Heart of The Hatter written by Graham Greene, what kinds of grammatical cohesive devices used to realize it, and finally, how these cohesive devices help the readers to interpret and understand what the author wants to convey. The use of cohesive devices leads to coherence so that the novel becomes communicative to the readers- the readers can catch what the author wants to convey.
