- Abstract
Norman McKinnel, a Scottish stage and film actor, wrote the one-act play titled The Bishop’s Candlesticks. This play is based on the story narrated by Victor Hugo in his novel Les Miserables. The plot of the play is a highly appreciated humanistic story portraying love and the kind of protagonist. The bishop is considered the protagonist who leads a saintly life by adhering to religious principles. McKinnel has positioned the bishop as a significant character expressing the biblical values that he wanted to promulgate across the globe. In addition, this one-act play hints at the concept of identity and identity crisis. Reading these aspects has motivated the researcher to write the present research paper. To explore biblical implications identified in the play, I have referred to the Bible and analyzed the text from the biblical perspective. There have been innumerable research on the concept of identity and identity crisis, but the idea of identity has not been explored in the selected text; therefore, this research paper attempted to deal with it.
