| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT The present study explores the themes of trauma and cultural displacement experienced by the protagonist of Naipaul’s The Enigma of Arrival. Through a close analysis of the protagonist's experiences, the study aims to unravel the profound effects of trauma and the sense of displacement that arises from living in a foreign culture. Drawing upon theories of trauma and postcolonialism, the study investigates how Naipaul portrays the complexities of the immigrant experience and the challenges faced by individuals attempting to navigate unfamiliar lands. By examining the protagonist’s narrative and his interactions with the new cultural setting, this study sheds light on the intricate interplay between personal trauma, cultural identity, and the longing for a sense of belonging. Ultimately, it argues that The Enigma of Arrival offers a poignant exploration of the emotional and psychological repercussions of cultural displacement, highlighting the enduring struggle to reconcile one's past with the present realities of living in a foreign land. | en_US |
