Identity Crisis in Tariq Rahman's The Snail
This study is designed to trace the identity crisis portrayed in Tariq Rahman’s The Snail. The story deals with the crisis of identity that how the metaphoric character of The Snail changes his identity and faces the consequences. The study aims to highlight the identity crisis and its harsh consequences. The study is carried out through the lens of Homi K Bhabha's Theory of Hybridity. The data is analyzed through a close reading technique and resolved that the change in identity is the loss of everything, and the loss of identity is the loss of your social space.
