become familiar with these mysteries by noticing the world, while the
Englishman likes to gain this knowledge from complex books. While they
travel, they start to hear rumours about a soon approaching tribal war. At

the point when they at last show up at the Al-Fayoum oasis, the home of
the nominal Alchemist, Santiago meets a delightful young lady named
2
Fatima with whom he promptly becomes hopelessly enamoured and falls
in love with her. He finds that affection, similar to the Personal Legend,
comes straight from the Soul of the World. While strolling in the desert,
Santiago has a dream of a forthcoming fight. He surges back to caution the
older folks at the desert garden and, when his vision is affirmed, they offer
him a position as a counsellor. Santiago considers remaining at the Oasis
4 2
with Fatima; however, the Alchemist finds Santiago and lets him know
that he will lead Santiago to his fortune.
Now on the move again, the Alchemist trains Santiago to pay attention to
26 2
his heart. He tells him that hearts can be tricky, yet the most ideal way to
hold them back from tricking you are to eagerly pay attention to them.
Nearly to the pyramids, Santiago and the Alchemist are taken prisoner by
a fighting clan. The Alchemist lets the tribesmen know that Santiago is a
strong and talented magician who can transform himself into the wind.
The tribesmen are intrigued hearing this and offer to let them go in the
event that Santiago can make it happen. The main issue is that Santiago
has no clue about the thing he is doing. Following three days of thinking
7
and meditating, Santiago utilizes his insight into the Soul of the World to
2
request that the elements help him. First, he asks the desert, then he asks
the wind, then he asks the sun and, at last, he requests the Soul from the
World. Right away, the wind approaches, and Santiago vanishes and
returns on the opposite side of the camp.
The Alchemist takes a leave from Santiago, who forges ahead to the
Pyramids. When there, Santiago is chased and attacked by robbers. Asked
4
what he is doing there, Santiago answers that he had a fantasy of a fortune
covered at the foundation of the Pyramids. One of the robbers’ snickers at
27
him, and says that he has had precisely the same dream, but in his dream
the treasure was located in Spain. Santiago understands that the fortune
was back in Spain the whole time. The story then hops forward in time
and finds Santiago digging an opening at the foundation of the tree where
he had his most memorable dream. Sufficiently sure, he finds a trunk
loaded with gold-enough for himself and Fatima to live comfortably for
quite a while.

1) Personal Legend
15
The most prominent theme in The Alchemist that revolves around
Individualism is the possibility that every individual has a "Personal
28
Legend" — a sort of ideal destiny or fate — and that every individual can
pick the choice about whether or not to seek after that legend. Towards the
start of the novel, the protagonist Santiago is sent off on a journey for his
fortune — his Personal Legend, through his experience with Melchizedek,
an insightful elderly person. Melchizedek is a Biblical figure, yet with
regards to the novel, he says that he shows up at crucial points in time
when an individual may be abandoning chasing after their Personal
Legend. Melchizedek clarifies for Santiago that all individuals know their
Personal Legend in their childhood, however they fail to remember this
Legend as they age since they are dazed and obstructed by dread,
uneasiness, and other common worries. At times even beneficial things,
like love, hinder an individual chasing after a Personal Legend, as nearly
happens to Santiago when he considers remaining forever with Fatima in
the desert garden.
The novel emphatically recommends that the decision to seek after the
Legend is altogether up to the individual, the result is in every case better
when the Legend is accomplished. However, as Santiago acknowledges
close to the furthest limit of the novel, this life improvement comes not
such a great amount from the straightforward accomplishment of the
Legend, yet rather from the reason and commitment that quest for the
Legend provides for one's day to day existence. It just so happens,
Santiago was actually near his fortune all along, yet his excursion to arrive
at the fortune was extended in both time and distance. Without the
excursion, nonetheless, Santiago could never have realized all that he did,
2) Maktub
"Maktub" is an expression previously utilized by the crystal merchant who
employs Santiago, and later it is taken on by different characters,
including Santiago, the camel driver, and Fatima. The expression
signifies, "It is written," and it is utilized by these characters to
communicate their conviction that a few things are "intended to be."
Rather than having confidence in a God with a variable will, these
characters trust in a relentless, general arrangement behind all things. This
was their own decision; their individuality is brought out by their faith in
something of someone, in this case ‘Maktub’. And even in the novel, the
possibility of "Maktub" is never introduced as problematic to the
through and through freedom of the person in deciding to look for their
Personal Legend.
The idea of "Maktub" frees a few characters of the uneasiness of
independent direction and risk taking. For instance, the camel driver's
confidence in the ways of world, which he accepts are "written," assists
him with showing Santiago why passing need not be dreaded. The camel
driver makes sense of that passing is basically a reality, something
composed, and its shock and fear disappears when one lives at the time
without nervousness over what can't be changed. Fatima likewise utilizes
the expression "Maktub" to make sense of her confidence in Santiago and
their affection for one another. That's what she trusts assuming she and
Santiago are planned to be together, he will get back to her. This relieves
her from the uneasiness of his departure, since she believes that what is
"written" will happen. On the off chance that he doesn't return, it is on the
grounds that their affection was not planned to be everlasting and valid.

Individualism being the consistent theme and driving force of the story is

As per The Alchemist, Personal Legends act as the main means by which
an individual can carry on with a wonderful life. Truth be told, the
universe can accomplish flawlessness on the off chance that all regular
things persistently go through a pattern of accomplishing their Personal
Legend, developing into a higher being with another Personal Legend, and
afterward chasing after that new objective. This idea, that the
individualistic quest for a Personal Legend exists as life's prevailing —
maybe just — otherworldly interest, lies at the focal point of the
remarkable philosophy of The Alchemist. As we see when Santiago
should surrender his rush and leave Fatima, material achievement and
even love poses problems to Santiago accomplishing his Personal Legend
and should be deferred or overlooked through and through. The
individuals who put off their Personal Legends, like the crystal merchant,
endure lament and neglect to encounter the riches and different blessings
that the universe gives to the people who follow their Personal Legends.
In the novel, even alchemy, the focal symbol of the book, involves
cajoling metal to accomplish its very own Legend to transform into gold.

Accordingly, the possibility that all people should live in the particular

As per The Alchemist, Personal Legends act as the main means by which
an individual can carry on with a satisfying life. The, as a matter-of-fact
universe can accomplish flawlessness in the event that all regular things
persistently go through a pattern of accomplishing their Personal Legend,
developing into a higher being with another Personal Legend, and
afterward seeking after that new objective. This idea, that the
individualistic quest for a Personal Legend exists as life's prevailing
profound necessity, lies at the centre of the one-of-a-kind religious
philosophy of The Alchemist. As we see when Santiago should forfeit his
run and leave Fatima, material achievement and even love has boundary to
Santiago accomplishing his Personal Legend what's more, should be
postponed or disregarded by and large.
The people who put off their Personal Legends, like the gem trader,
endure lament and neglect to encounter the success and different blessings
that the universe presents to the people who follow their Personal
Legends. In the novel, even speculative chemistry, the significant image of
the book, involves persuading metal to accomplish its very own Legend to
10 29
transform into gold. Subsequently, the possibility that all people ought to
live in the solitary quest for their singular dreams arises as a definitive
topic of The Alchemist. The novel firmly shows that albeit the decision to
seek after the Legend is completely up to the individual, the outcome is
generally better when the Legend is achieved. However, as Santiago
acknowledges close to the furthest limit of the novel, this life progression
comes not really from the basic victory of the Legend, yet rather from the
reason and commitment that quest for the Legend provides for one's
ordinary life. Towards the end of the original pursuers come to realize that
Santiago was actually near his fortune all along, however his excursion to
arrive at the fortune was extensive in both time and distance.

6. Individualism in Literature
Among the creators who investigate the idea of individualism are Ayn
Rand, Charlotte Gilman and Margaret Atwood. The characters in the
literary works of such authors reflect how the pursuit for individualism
can be hindered with the occurrence of love.
Rand's tragic book called Anthem investigates the tempestuous period
where humanity is compelled to reside with the unforgiving difficulties of
mindlessness and collectivism, and the disappointments of communist
upbringing and financial matters. In Anthem, a young man named
Equality winds up in a secret passage, separating himself from an anti-
individualistic culture and acknowledging how much comfort and
isolation suit him. However, his quest for individualism is being disturbed
by the Golden One, a beautiful peasant young lady whom he considers as
an important component in his eyes.
In Gilman's novel named Herland, three brave companions venture into
an all-female land called Herland and its ladies denied of social real
9
factors of the advanced world and the commitment of manliness to their
maternal prosperity.
Atwood's novel, The Handmaid's Tale presents to pursue the quest for
individualism in a Puritan society laid out utilizing remains of war.
Atwood investigates how love can redefine and impact an individual's
quest for human respect in The Republic of Gilead that deters the pursuit
for independence and legitimizes subjugation.
Individualism in Herland is an original that sees ladies in a segregated
land become captivated with the magnificence and secret of this present
9
reality where there is a feeling of congruity and acknowledgment for
gentility and manliness. One of the characters in book, Moadine, certifies
such interest to the cultural settings of the genuine world by pronouncing
how awesome and remarkably gorgeous man's human progress should be
expected to the incalculable commitment of science and innovation. It is
obviously showed that Moadine, being one of more seasoned ladies who
21
shows the three men in the lifestyle of Herland, has fallen into the problem
of the Utopian culture of the advanced world. Moadine’s interest on the
Surname 17
humanized methods of man which ladies in Herland are being denied with
turns into a road for them to enter in the baffling country of the three men.
Arthur Miller’s ‘Death of a Salesman’, the hero, Willy Loman exhibits the
idea of individualism. All through his life, Willy attempted to turn into a
fruitful money manager and demonstrate that he could give a superior life
to his children and himself. He was reluctant to take cash from his
neighbour and take the exhortation of his significant other to resign. Willy
had deeply felt convictions that he ought to work till the day he covered
his last bill. He rejected help from individuals encompassing him, in light
of the fact that as Americans we esteem self-sufficiency. Albeit this is a
shocking story of a man who neglected to assume command over his life,
it imparts the possibility that independence is a significant worth in
America's way of life.
In ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ written by Mark Twain, where
one of the subjects is by all accounts the contention among society and the
person. In the start of the novel, we see that Huck essentially raises
himself and depends on his impulses to direct him through his life on
Earth. Subsequent to understanding this part of Huck's character, we can
distinguish the advancement of Huck as a person that is beyond social
orders' preferring. We figure out later in the book that Huck's own
impulses will generally hold him in a higher moral norm than those of
society. Huckleberry's choice to assist with liberating Jim, a known slave,
14
is one of the numerous models how Huck pursues his own decisions and
keeps up with his independence.
