Something Happened | | Author Name : | | | SABA ZAHOOR
| | Publisher : | | | Bridge Center | | Article URL : |  | | | Abstract : | | | Considering mainly the work The Protean Self by Robert
Jay Lifton, this paper will be analysing Heller’s novel Something
Happened while arguing that how a decentered subjectivity can
encompass many different, perhaps even contradictory, identities. The
paper will further will explore the anonymity that a character faces as
he is caught up in a tension between the external world and his own
inner psyche. It will further be looking at the resulting aspects of the
protean self like loss of family values and disregard for the social
institutions like marriage and the theme of paranoia and self-doubt. | | Keywords : | | | Joseph Heller, Something Happened, identity, protean
