Abstract
This present thesis deals with the fluid nature of human being and his/her
attempt of fulfilling dream or desire in V.S. Naipaul'sGuerrillas. Jane, the protagonist
of the novel, runs after person to person to materialize her dream and desire but fails
to do so. Her each and every attempt turns out to be futile but her hope does not end.
Her restlessness and obsession for the pleasure drive her to a situation that causes her
untimely demise. Her desires are spoilt one after another and she herself is spoilt by
the love making pretension of Jimmy whose heart is filled with revenge. Due to the
failure of analyzing the nature of desire and dream, the protagonist of the novel fails
to realize that she has drowned in the depth of illusion.
