Abstract
In Cat's Eye, the protagonist of the novel attempts to formulate her subject by recalling her past and her painting exhibitions. According to Kristeva, without the semiotic mode and abjection, developing an identity is impossible. So once more the role of semiotic gets obvious. The semiotic mode should revolt against the symbolic to make subjectivity. Here, if Elaine does not accede to the semiotic and revolt against the symbolic, she would not able to get an identity. The authors of this paper attempt to follow the concept of identi ty in Margaret Atwood's Cat's Eye on the basis of Julia Kristeva's theories.
