Abstract
Naipaul'sMagic Seedsdepicts the postcolonial situations. They are
problem of location, history, culture and identity. Willie is detached from
history, language, and culture which are sources of identity. For his
discovery, he goes to India and involves the guerrilla movement where his
identity slips one after another. He can not create his history, culture and
fix identity because he is dislocated from them. Returning to London, he
also realizes that he is failure to discover himself throughout his life
because he is homeless, jobless, hopeless, missionless and lack of
self-decision power, technical education, family relationship and practical
way of life.
