So, what do you guys think about Identity? What defines who a person is? Pecola's defines herself as an ugly black girl because she has been told that she is. Toundi is confused about who is is since he started working for the white Frenchmen. Is identity based on appearance, status, friends, nationality..?

We have read 'The Bluest Eye' by Toni Morrison and ' Houseboy' by Ferdinand Oyono. One common theme that is highlighted in the two novel set in different contexts is Identity. We have just began reading Shakespeare's 'Othello'
