This paper entitled ‘Selfhood: An Analytical Study of Self-Hood’ tries to venture the role of external agency in the formation of selfhood through the concepts propounded by Jacques Lacan and Louis Althusser. For ages, selfhood has been a great problem and a central topic of discussion among the intellectuals. People who believes themselves to have an individual identity is in the true sense are devoid of selfhood. This paper depicts both the pessimistic face as well as the optimistic face of external factors which are solely responsible for the formation of selfhood with perfect epitomes from the novel All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. A person’s selfhood is not really his own, instead one’s self is metaphorically covered by the hood call external agencies which may affect and influence one’s real self either directly or indirectly.
