This research paper argues that the conditions of identity formation in both Northanger Abbey and Bleak House are determined by the dialogue between the misrecognition and recognition of certain objects, events, and characters. The paper also answers questions like what is the identity of the individual and how can it be integrated into the identity of a group of people? What is negative and positive identity?
