Abstract

The purpose of this is to provide an in-depth analysis of physical stigma and its impact on the main character portrayed in the novel "Out of My Mind" by Sharon M. Draper (2010). By adopting a qualitative approach, the researchers intend to explore the concept of physical stigma and present their findings and analysis through narrative texts. To comprehend the phenomenon of physical stigma, the study draws upon Erving Goffman's stigma theory (1963). This theory offers valuable insights into the social construction of stigma and how individuals with physical differences are labeled and marginalized in society. The results of the study reveal that individuals who bear physical stigma face stigmatization from society. They are often subjected to negative prejudice, discrimination, terrible words and cold stares. However, the main character in the novel exemplifies remarkable resilience and determination in the face of physical stigma. By shedding light on the experiences of individuals with physical stigma and the potential for empowerment, this research contributes to a broader understanding of the complexities of stigma and the possibilities for positive change in society. Keywords: stigmatization, stigma, physical stigma
