This study found that The main character Veronika can fulfill her two human needs: Physiological Needs and Security Needs. However, there are three needs that she cannot fulfill, which are Belongingness and Love Needs, Self-Esteem Needs, and Self-Actualization Needs. Because of her unfulfilled human needs, she now views everything from a negative side. She despised herself, had no strength, desire, or passion, and thought she was useless. She also feels that her life is uninteresting and has no meaning. All the negative thoughts in Veronika's mind made her feel empty, alone, and she thought this life was unworthy to live. That is why she decided to commit suicide.
