Bildungsroman fiction, The Guide, Raju, Marco, Rosie and R K Narayan

Change is inevitable for all but what matters is a progressive change that involves a growth trajectory towards a positive elevation. This congruent concept is considered a bildungsroman fiction in the literary world. Bildungsroman's narrative deals with an individual’s spiritual, psychological, and moral growth in the formative years. This kind of narrative goes through a series of changes and elevates oneself towards the ultimate journey. The Guide is a novel that reflects the bildungsroman style for most of its characters. The protagonist, Raju is a perfect illustration of the same. Therefore, this research paper critically examines the origin and elements of bildungsroman and also the characters are illustrated in the same lieu in correspondence to the Primary text, The Guide by R K Narayan. Furthermore, the research paper is grounded with many other secondary sources with the initial viewpoint which allows the scholars to comprehend the world of Malgudi created by Narayan in a better way.
