الملخص الإنجليزي

This thesis includes a comparative study between Nazneen in Monica Ali's Brick Lane and Antoinette in Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea.

It investigates identity crisis that is experienced by both heroines and their struggle to overcome this crisis in a society where they are triply marginalized by class, gender, and race.

It explores the differences and the similarities between Antoinette and Nazneen in their search and struggle for an independent life and examines the extent to which they succeed or fail in articulating their identity.

Adopting the techniques and methods of comparative literature, the postcolonial, the feminist and the psychosocial theories, the study explores the two works through emphasizing the external forces that can be supportive and encouraging or undermining and discouraging through the two heroines’ long and arduous search for an identity and an independent self.

The thesis examines the basic similarities and differences between the two writers’ treatment of the question of identity and the way the female protagonist in each novel struggles to achieve her goals.

Each protagonist perceives herself differently depending on the circumstances and the external forces that impact the construction or destruction of her identity.

Each character reaches a resolution where she builds her own world on her own terms and in her way, depending on her own decision.
