The concept of identity and its Universal appeal takes center stage in ?The White Castle?. The protagonists struggle in taking on the life which they desire, its relevance and how it exhibits the real problem in a nutshell has a great magnitude. Hoja flees to Italy to take the place of the scholar. The scholar is left to take the place of Hoja which he does not aspire for. Though one of the protagonists has not got the choice to make, the other succeeds in gaining it. This problem which has a universal significance represents the macrocosm which is portrayed through a small parameter of microcosm with a parallel portrayal of the East and West clash.
