Abstract
Search for identity is a common occurrence, especially in the lives of adolescents, so it is no wonder it frequently occurs in works of speculative fiction as well. The theme of soul-searching appeals to both adolescents and adults who are on the journey to actualise themselves as individuals, making it an always relevant subject. The period of adolescence is characterized by the extended need for establishing an identity that will serve as a solid basis for adulthood that awaits them. Development of identity can be hindered due to various reasons, some of which are presented in the analysis of two works of speculative fiction – Carrie by Stephen King and Divergent by Veronica Roth. Both novels portray 16-year-old female protagonists whose identities are repressed through either societal or familial circumstances. Throughout the novels, both heroines exhibit major changes in their identity, which is followed by a change in other’s perception of them. By finding their true self, they embark on the path of self-actualization.
