Individual Preferences and Constraints: A Naturalistic Study of “Exit West

The present research study endeavors to probe out the aspects of individual preferences and constraints through the naturalistic study of Hamid’s (2017) Exit West, under the theoretical framework of Zola’s (1964) The Experimental Novel: And other Essays. The purpose of this research is to identify the naturalistic factors that affects an individual free will and how he or she acts by facing certain environmental constraints. Zola (1964) is the proponent of naturalistic theory and according to this theory, a person’s actions and choices are experimented by his or her heredity and environment. This study measured the influence of certain factors that govern human nature and behavior by highlighting the lives of two main characters, Nadia and Saeed. It focused on the issues of survival, human nature and behavior, detachment and social environment affecting the lives of protagonists. This qualitative approach of the study supports the reasons and findings that have been discussed with the help of naturalism. This research also analyses application of naturalism with the help of experimental methods that triumphed everywhere.
