searching his own identity in Rudyard Kipling's The jungle Books.
Rudyard Kipling's The Tungle Books contains several stories about the
jungle inhabitants in the Wainganga's riverbank, but most of the
stories relate to an Indian's boy, Mowgli. Mowgli is a boy who is
raised by the jungle's beast in the Wainganga's riverbank. He grows
up among the jungle's beasts and fights to survive against the harsh of
jungle nature and his enemy Shere-Khan. This character also must
pass through conflicts against himself and his own kinds until he
finally learns to accept his true identity as a human being. In analyzing
Mowgli's story the thesis writer uses theory of character and conflict,
which are applied as literary approach, he also uses theory of self-identity
and theory of relation between self-identity with social-group
as supporting data in order to support his analysis. Besides that, the
purpose of writing this thesis is to reveal the main character's
development in finding his own identity and also to reveal his
obstacles and his supports in finding his own identity.
