The concept of travel has long been associated with the human experience and is considered an essential aspect of individual presence, existence, and development. It is viewed as a factor that reveals an individual's actions within a spatial and temporal framework and has significant universal significance across all social classes. While the domains and motives of travel may differ among individuals, the theme of travel holds a particular importance in literature. In this study, we focus on the issue of travel in Halima Hamdane's two works, Let me speak! and Chaos of freedom. We adopt a sociological approach to analyze the psychological state of the characters, study their social belonging, and its impact on their behavior. Our objective aims to examine the treatment of this theme in these two literary works that are part of the oral literature tradition. Additionally, our focus is on the profile of two specific characters in relation to the author's narrative and argumentative structure. Through our analysis, we seek to understand the significance of the theme of travel in these works and its impact on character development. Our research aims to provide insight into how travel is utilized by the author to advance storyline and enhance character mobility. Moreover, it seeks to explore how travel impacts character behavior and action, as well as the relationship between social belonging and travel. By adopting a sociological approach to analyze the psychological state of the characters, we can gain a deeper understanding of how travel serves as a means of self-discovery and personal development. Furthermore, our analysis can shed light on the broader cultural and societal implications of travel in literature. Ultimately, our study contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of travel in literature and its impact on individual and collective identity.
