English Abstract

This study presents V.S Naipaul’s The Mimic Men as a post-colonial novel that depicts the effects of colonialism on colonized people.

Through an autobiographical and confessional style, the narrator of the novel clarifies the influence of colonialism on his identity and how it impacts the social, political, and psychological aspects of the people of a small Caribbean island.

The study attempts to highlight the manifestations related to the impact of colonization on self-identity and psychological confusion.

It also handles the characters as men of mimicry and highlighted the reasons behind such an attitude.

However, the study comprises five chapters.

The first is an introduction covering the significance of this novel as a major work in post-colonial literature.

Chapter Two tackles the review of literature written about this novel and its writer.

The third chapter presents the procedures and methods followed in this study.

Chapter four is the main argument where the themes, characterization and judgments of the author are analyzed.

The final chapter, the conclusion, is a brief account of the points raised in the study.
