This study aimed to determine the dominant character of Cath depicted in the novel and find out the actual character of Cath as the main character in Rainbow Rowell's novel Fangirl through a binary opposition. This study used a qualitative descriptive method through a deconstructive approach. In this study, data were taken from quotations in the form of dialogues, sentences, phrases and words. The results of this study indicate that Cath's dominant character in the novel is nervous, introverted, addicted, low self-esteem and selfish and the other side of Cath's personality is fearless, extroverted, indifferent, confident and caring.
