The allegorical question has vexed philosophers, old and new, but the chicken-and-egg dilemma has become an emblematic icon used to describe a situation characterized by a blurred line between cause and effect. Ken Kesey pondered a predicament of the sort in his novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, through the identity of his character, Chief Bromden. Namely, he explored the influence of his outwardly perceived identity, on the perception he cultivated of himself. Suspicions circulating the notion that Bromden's behaviours were a subsequent conformity to the mould his peers had created for him arose throughout the novel.…

    Cultural collisions between different groups of people that are forced to live together are bound to happen, especially if those two groups have completely different ways of life. Chinua Achebe depicts what cultural collision can do to two different groups of people in his novel Things Fall Apart between the main character Okonkwo and the colonizers that come to his village, Umuofia. Okonkwo, an aggressively over-masculine, hot-tempered, traditional man, comes to face his old traditions and ways of life crumbling and falling apart before his very eyes, as colonizers plague Umuofia with their religious beliefs and customs. Cultural traditions are deeply rooted in old cultures but when something or someone interferes with these traditions it…

    In Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel Never Let Me Go, the author develops a powerful insight into how one’s upbringing can be influential in the formation of his or her identity. In Never Let Me Go, Ishiguro carefully creates a dystopian society where there are inherent divisions in society. He iterates the idea of the Hailsham students as belonging to a lower social class. As the novel progresses, this wedge between the “normals” and the clones influences the development of the clones’ identity and their inability to escape their fates. Many critics have argued the oppressive forces surrounding the Hailsham students have caused mental and emotional consequences, which have led to an outsider status.…

    In Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe a Western influence comes into Umuofia and it made Okonkwo angry because he was a very religious believer and was very true to his culture, roots and religion, “Okonkwo never showed any emotion openly, unless it be the emotion of anger,” (28). The Western influences said the people of Umuofia had their religion wrong when they said there was more than one god like the Earth Goddess or the Water God. The Westerners believed in only one God and he did everything, and Okonkwo knew in his heart that that was all phony and his religion was the right one. Okonkwo was mad and angry that they had even showed up in the first place in Umuofia because they should 've kept their religion where it started. When Okonkwo noticed that there was a handful of people he knew from the town converting to the missionaries he didn 't understand how brothers could turn on each other.…

    A disappointment to his father, Nwoye finds solace in the hymns of the Evangelists. For him, his father represented the masculine ideals and traditions of Ibo society, and so, in his failure to reach his father’s standards, he also failed to feel at home within the culture he was born to. The evangelists presented a society that would accept him, one whose own hymns appealed to the doubts he had about his clan 's traditions, describing, “brothers who sat in darkness and in fear seemed to answer...the question of Ikemefuna who was killed” (Achebe 147). By his fear of what Nwoye might fail to become, Okonkwo ended up ensuring Nwoye’s failure. And so, Nwoye become a Christian and Okonkwo disowned…

After so many years of being beat down by his father to stop acting weak and lazy, Nwoye finds solace in Christian teachings.

Okonkwo returns from Mbanta, no longer as a celebrated wrestler, but almost forgotten by the Umuofians and abandoned by his son. In Okonkwo’s exile, the “clan had undergone such profound change” and he is “deeply grieved…not just a personal grief.…

Nwoye felt he belonged with the missionaries and their religious beliefs, and since the village does not accept new cultures it caused Okonkwo and Nwoye to drift apart.
