The speech act of request is a face-threatening act in human’s communication because it challenges the mutual face of both the speaker and the hearer. The current study aims to uncover how politeness strategies in requests are employed in the novel “Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer. All the requests carrying the illocutionary force of getting somebody to do something serve as the data source. The coding system is based on Blum-Kulka et. al (1989) and Trosborg (1995)’s coding manual. The findings show that the characters in “Twilight” overwhelmingly chose the Direct Strategies in formulating their requests, in which the Imperative Strategy or Mood Derivable was the most preferable strategy. On the choice of Internal Modifications, the speakers in “Twilight” used a wide range of mitigating devices within the Head Act to reduce the requestive force, mostly the Question forms, Downtoners, and Past tense. With reference to External Modifications, the speakers mostly chose Grounders to give reasons for their requests. The findings also show that the choice of request strategies and mitigating devices was influenced by the relationships between the characters
