- Abstract
Richard Wright is a significant black writer who ushered in a profound change in the twentieth century American literature. His novels primarily deal with the problems of racism and oppression of the black people in America. His famous novel The Outsider (1953) portrays the existential outlook, transformation and tragic fall of a highly intelligent black protagonist Cross Damon. This paper explores the anguish experienced by his psyche when he embarks on a journey of rediscovering his identity and meaning of life by becoming an outsider and removing himself from ethics, law and humanity.
