     Language is the most important part of human life. In communication, people do not only utter sentences but also transfer it into behavior. Rejection is a form of communication. Rejection, refusing something of the hearer and rejection belongs to the perlocutionary act. Rejection can be divided into explicit rejection and implicit rejection. The collected data were identified and classified in terms of explicit rejection and implicit rejection found in the utterances of the characters. The identified and classified data then analyzed descriptively based on the aspects of rejection (the aspects of perlocutionary act) that were uttered by the characters in the novel according to Leech (1983) and Crystal’s (1972) theories. The results show that there are two kinds of perlocutionary act found in the novel The Pale Horse by Agatha Christie, those are explicit and implicit perlocutionary act whereas the aspects of rejection found in that novel are to get hearer to think, requesting, starting, and offering.
