- Abstract
The paper addresses adolescent development in Hinton's The Outsiders as the major theme based on psychoanalytic theories. This paper aims to expound on the process of de-egocentricity and socialization of the major protagonists in Hinton's The Outsiders. The study of young adult literature was rarely undertaken from the aspects of de-egocentricity and socialization, and Hinton's The Outsiders was hardly systematically introduced by scholars in China. Thus, this paper will provide the readers with a new perspective of the understanding of adolescents' coming-of-age in Hinton's The Outsiders.
