Abstract: (462 Views)
In Erik Homburger Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, adolescence is the fifth stage. The main problem of this stage is the identity crisis, although not in its critical sense. In this article, identity is explored based on this theory in the Arabic young adult novel Cappuccino and the Persian Call Me Ziba. The novel Cappuccino is written by Fatima Sharafeddin, a Lebanese writer, and Call Me Ziba, is written by Farhad Hassanzadeh, an Iranian writer. The atmosphere of both novels is narrated in contemporary era. The main characters in Cappuccino are a young girl and a young boy, and the main character in Call Me Ziba is a young girl. These characters are involved in challenges and try to solve them. In Cappuccino, family violence of men against women is the main theme. Call Me Ziba portrays the most acute life conditions for adolescents and the possibility of getting rid of them. Paying attention to adolescence in order to form a successful identity has been the concern of many non-literary researches, but in literary studies, less attention has been paid to this period and the notion of identity; Therefore, in this research, the two novels are examined by using Erikson's theory, descriptive-analytical method, and the comparative literature approach. The results indicate that in the novels Cappuccino and Call Me Ziba, adolescent characteristics are placed in three categories based on Erikson's psychosocial development theory: 1) Identity crisis; 2) Identity-seeking, which itself includes the subcategories of identification, receiving social support and adolescent protest against the value system of adults in adolescence; and 3) Fidelity. Upon examining the place of identity and identity challenges of youngs in the novels Cappuccino and Call Me Ziba, it can be concluded that encouragement to patience, love of family, respect for elders, support of family members, understanding of family's unfavorable economic situation, and fidelity to family members are emphasized a lot.
