This paper traces out the question of both constructing self and pursuing personal autonomy in V. S. Naipaul’s two novels, In a Free State and Guerrillas. Naipaul’s interest in his novels, as he focuses on human beings who exist in the post-colonial world, is in how the characters in the two novels are de-centered and fragmented after colonialism. Basically Naipaul tries to show that some characters in the novels struggle variably to find their own selves, but have the pretty difficulties in constructing the authentic self. Thus the resulting aspect is that the individual condition of existence in post-colonial society can be made in the complex web in which various ideological forces between the old and the new world interact.
