Abstract: | The research discusses hybrid identity in Ahmad's The Wandering Falcon, as a cultural option when a person meets dual cultural standards. Due to the sense of adjustment in new cultural location, person is influenced by new culture. Having both cultural influence, a person redefines own identity as a hybrid one. The novel projects the pivotal character Tor Baz as a displaced person who adopts Mullah tribal culture to adjust in new situation. As Bhabha's notion about hybrid identity shows the modern cultural locations are being formed where a person influence from different cultural patterns. A person adopts new cultural pattern while being in new location. Having dual cultural locations, Tor Baz redefines his hybrid identity and accepts it as his new identity. |
