IDENTITY METAMORPHOSIS IN TATIANA TIBULEAC`s NOVEL "VARA IN CARE MAMA A AVUT OCHII VERZI"

Summary/Abstract: The issue of defining identity, along with dysfunctional intra-familial relationships, with a particular focus on the theme of motherhood, constitutes the inner circle within which Aleksy, the central character of Tatiana Țîbuleac's first novel, Vara în care mama a avut ochii verzi (The Summer When My Mother’s Eyes Were Green), gradually learns to accept his mother and to discover himself in the hypostasis, never suspected, as a beloved and loving son, attentive to his mother's needs and genuinely concerned with family history, one that takes him through a carousel of experiences, at the end of which the individual rediscovers himself from another point of view, totally different from what is presented in the beginning of the novel. The relationship to the self and to otherness is subject to different degrees of acceptance, and provokes strong identity crises, all doubled by a psychological condition with unpredictable manifestations in everyday life.
