Therefore, to analyze Tayo’s and Rocky’s identity or search for it, one has to examine their life career and relations with other persons because “ a person’s identity is influenced by others recognition of that identity ” (Jenlink & Townes 2009: 127). It is an important section because “ essence, the individual’s actions and character define his identity” (Jenlink & Townes 2009: 127). The first part of the paper will focus on demonstrating the development of these two major characters in Ceremony. Both are somehow caught in the middle because of living in-between.
