Abstract

The main plot in Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea series revolves around the archetypal theme of coming of age. In The Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore, and Tehanu: The Last Book of Earthsea, Le Guin portrays the maturation of the protagonists, Ged, Tenar and Arren. This study examines the maturation process that leads to a coming of age of the protagonists in the conclusion of the novels.
