Abstract
In addition to being interesting and educational, Children's and Young Adult literature frequently also has a psychological and emotional role for their readers. When having problems or doubts in life, (young) people tend to escape their world by reading books and imagining themselves in another universe. In their novels, J. K. Rowling and Veronica Roth made up two fantasy worlds for the readers to escape to: the Harry Potter universe and the imaginary, dystopian post-war Chicago respectively. In both, the characters are divided into several groups according to their ambitions and personality traits. In the center of J. K. Rowling’s work, is a young orphan wizard, Harry Potter, who enters the magical world thanks to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and makes lifelong friendships within his House. On the other hand, Veronica Roth depicts Tris (Beatrice), who has trouble fitting in in an imposed faction system. Having been assigned into specific circles or schools, the protagonists are set to behave and mature in a certain way. This paper will explore how the categorization of the characters influences the molding of their identities in order to show that being assigned to a specific group largely determines the path by which one’s identity will formed.
