This paper examines the process through which true identity recognition is realized in the exploration of memory in Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time and Julian Barnes’s The Sense of an Ending. The study reveals that in In Search of Lost Time, memory fragments connect the “self” of the past and present, reshaping the individual identity of the narrator, Marcel, thereby constructing a continuous and unified concept of “self”. Moreover, in the interactions between Marcel, others, and society, the eternity of the self is achieved through literature and art, while the spiritual trauma brought by World War I is also expressed. In The Sense of an Ending, memory serves as a tool for individual reflection and identity reconstruction, with the perspectives of others prompting a reevaluation of those memories, unveiling how personal identity constantly forms and evolves within social interactions and external realities. Therefore, this study, using Marcel and Tony’s individual memories as threads, explores the transformation of personal identity cognition from the perspectives of self, others, and society. While pursuing a sense of completeness and unity in identity, continuous self-adjustment and improvement are also necessary, which not only provides a new perspective on the interaction between memory and identity in literary and social contexts but also fosters a profound reflection on the process of personal and social identity construction.展开更多
