Abstract

This article examines the evolution of personal self-identification in literary discourse from classical realism to postmodernism, focusing on the transformation of identity models under the influence of historical, sociocultural, and philosophical shifts. The study analyzes the representation of identity crisis in nineteenth-century realism, the modernist rejection of fixed selfhood, the existential search for authentic being, and the postmodern fragmentation of subjectivity.
