Abstrak
This research examines Keiko Furukura rsquo s character development influenced by the convenience store as the main spatial setting in Sayaka Murata rsquo s novel entitled Convenience Store Woman (2018). The study is a literary criticism that uses the theory of New Criticism especially its argument that centers on the analysis of the main character in the story. This research proposes that spatial settings can become one of the most determinant factors to affect the character rsquo s development in the story. The finding proves that the store is influential to the main character rsquo s development as it plays as the character rsquo s life anchor to evaluate measure or even eventually decide how worthy the main character is as a human.
