Two Identities

As class was finishing up, the questions aroused about two identities in one situations. Initially, I thought we can have two identities all the time. However, I realized how lost one person can get in this sort of mess. For Twinkle, she had the pressures of being a wife, a woman, Indian, and American. Also, she needed to fit into the Catholic community. If Twinkle could be all these people at once, she has skillful master the art of juggling. In time, the true identity of an character will be made know.
Personally, there are many different identities I have depending on the situation. In the classroom, I act differently with my friends, and so on... But all this changing of your identity make you lose a part of yourself? Of course, not. According to Sanjeev, Twinkle was trying to put on an act. In reality, Twinkle had different identities depending on the situation. Sanjeev was the one struggling with his own identity. He is in his mind set and cannot believe anything else. Overall, we can have two identities but we may only present one at a time.
