about their own identity especially in the society. Identity crisis that I want to
discuss is based from the novel Obasan by Joy Kogawa. I want to know how
Naomi as the main character experiences the identity crisis and how she
overcomes it. My purpose in this study is to find out the ways Naomi experiences
identity crisis and the ways she overcomes it.
This study uses library research to find sources about identity crisis. I also
use literary approach to get deeper analysis in the study. I use literary tools such
as conflict and characterization. I also use concept of identity as the supporting
theory to show Naomi?s ways in overcoming her identity crisis. Naomi
experiences identity crisis because of the treatment from the Canadian toward her.
The derogatory address and the isolation make Naomi experience identity crisis
and denying her identity as Canadian. She can overcome her identity crisis when
she realizes her own identity from a Canadian man and forgiving the society that
make her hurt.
Finally, identity is very important in life. From the study of the identity
crisis, I can know that by knowing my identity in the society, I can function well
in my society.
