Identity between Fragmentation and Reconstruction. Grădina de sticlă by Tatiana Țîbuleac

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to analyze how a character’s identity can be either fragmented, or reconstructed, depending on their relationship with the others. Starting from the definition of identity as being closely linked to alterity, we will examine how interpersonal relationships shape the individual’s inner structure, significantly contributing to the construction of their identity. Focusing on the ambiguous identity of the character Lastocika, from the novel The Glass Garden by Tatiana Țîbuleac, this study explores the female character’s ongoing struggle for self-definition. She attempts to assert her identity, while assuming the status of a stranger within both her adoptive family and the russian community of Chișinău, where she is forced to abandon her native language, in the favor of one in which she cannot find herself. Thus, Lastocika is caught between two worlds, without truly belonging to either.
