Le Guin's Wizard of Earthsea P. Rini Melina Dr. C. Shanmugasundaram Ph. D Research Scholar Research supervisor Department of English Assistant Professor Annamalai University Department of English Annamalai Nagar 608 002 Annamalai University [email protected] Annamalai Nagar 608 002 [email protected] Abstract Ursula K. Le Guin was an American author. she was best known for her works of speculative fiction, including the science fiction works sets in the Hainish Universe and the fantasy series of Earth Sea. She began writing full time in the 1950s and achieved major critical and commercial success with A Wizard of Earth Sea (1968). For the latter volume Le Guin won both the Hugo and Nebula awards for best novel, becoming the first woman to do so. This research paper deals with the self-identity in the maturation of fantasy super-hero Ged, or sparrow hawk, the title character. Over the course of the novel, he learns the true meaning of Wizardry its limits as well as its capabilities. One of the main attractions of the novel, in addition to Ged himself, the fantasy and the adventure, is Le Guin’s skill at showing the friendships that make Ged’s success and mistakes seem so important. Keywords: Ursula K. Le Guin, Wizard of Earthsea, Self-Identity, Imaginative, Trickster, Wizard, Magic, Witch In the Wizard of Earthsea, Ged's voyage to selfhood is chiefly a battle to find and name the strange shade which persistently pursues him.
