  • Lost and Found: Young Female Protagonists' Search for Self-Identity in Dystopian Literature Written By: Brandi Thomas Advisor
    Lost and Found: Young Female Protagonists’ Search for Self-Identity in Dystopian Literature Written by: Brandi Thomas Advisor: Amy Laura Hall, Ph.D. Spring 2014 2 Introduction: Finding yourself is a difficult task when it seems that the ground has been ripped out from beneath you and the world is falling apart at the seams. Adolescents exist in just this type of limbo; the world of childhood innocence no longer accepts them, and they still remain uncertain of their role in the complicated adult world. In her book, Reviving Ophelia, psychologist Mary Pipher muses that: adolescents are travelers, far from home with no native land, neither children nor adults. They are jet-setters who fly from one country to another with amazing speed. Sometimes they are four years old, an hour later they are twenty-five. They don’t really fit anywhere. There’s a yearning for place, a search for solid ground.1 As children, adolescents disapproved of adult rules and adult ways, but they are expected to join adulthood regardless. Dystopian novels for young adults (YA) place this inner conflict and journey at the center of their tales. My goal in this paper is to delve into these popular YA novels and find the common characteristics that make these protagonists so attractive to readers. In analyzing Suzanne Weyn’s The Bar Code Tattoo trilogy, Veronica Roth’s Divergent trilogy, and Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games trilogy, I will trace the paths that lead the female protagonists from lost and conflicted young women to strong heroines. Just as adolescents must come to terms with their self-identity, I will suggest that it is not until these young women discover their self-identities that they can become the heroines their respective authors created them to be, as well as the heroines their dystopian societies need.
