The theory of hegemony functions to study the hegemonic phenomenon in marriage decision which is occurred to the main characters. Meanwhile, the author’s life and personality is examined by biographical approach, which will support the knowledge on the writing process of the novel and American social condition at the time when novel was written.

Having analyzed The Age of Innocence, it can be concluded that the phenomenon of hegemony had been occurred in the upper class New York society of the 1870’s. The emergence of hegemony in marriage could be seen from the emergence of dominant and subordinated group, the adoption of dominant values by subordinated group, the domination of economy by dominant group and the last was the confrontation between subordinated against dominant group. Hegemony controlled the way that ideas become ‘naturalized’ in process that informs notions of common sense. The dominant group could dictate the subordinated in terms of behaving to its advantage or just to regard their classic values.
