Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7 (A-), Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel (English Seminar), course: Hauptseminar: Postcolonial Texts from the Terranglia, language: English, abstract: [...]The main focus of the following paper will lie on the mental consequences of being in exile, mainly portrayed in the protagonist - or main consciousness- Michael Adair. Furthermore I will propose to consider the notions of estrangement that can be found in Adair as well as in Carney, the differences between life in their home country Ireland and their new (temporary) home Australia from the colonial point of view.
