Abstract
The theme that interests us is the quest for identity in rudyard kipling's novel kim. The book was written in 1901 and the plot takes place in India during the time of the British colonization. kim presents several quests: a quest implies that the protagonist has to seek something noble, like the River of the Arrow for the lama, and that it generally has to undertake a long and difficult trip to reach it. Actually, kim relates the story of the ambitious trip of two characters throughout India seeking for something fundamental in their lives. The theme of identity is essential in kim: both Oriental and European origins of the eponymous hero play a major role in the novel. That is why it is interesting to study the novel through the prism of the quest for identity. We are going to see how the quest goes on and what is hidden behind this quest for identity.
