Almost all the protagonists in postcolonial novels struggle in different stages to defend or articulate their identity. Some of these models of protagonists lost their identities and some other develop it through their journey. Whatever the way that the indigenous protagonists try to use to articulate their identity, coercively or voluntary, their reaction on the way that the colonizer act represents their acceptance or rejection for imperialist, hegemonic ideology. This paper investigates the problematic of identity in the characters of Aziz and Stevens as protagonists in E. M. Forster's A Passage to India and Kazuo Ishiguro's The Remains of The Day, and how each protagonist represents different response, articulation and realization through their journey. This paper tries to approve that both protagonists, Aziz and Stevens, develop certain roles that summarize all postcolonial literature's protagonists in their acceptance or rejection for the colonial subject, their way to respond and articulate their identities and the result they face at the end of each novel.

What helps this paper is the diversity of characters in Mark Twain's novel. The material condition is the most dominant feature of Twain's writings. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain focuses on the ideological background for the characters and how material impacts their behavior. So each character determined by it class and material conditions. On the same side, Carl Marx, the Austin philosopher, believes that the material conditions determined one's behavior.
