    This research is a comparative study between F. Scott Fitzgerlad’s This Side of Paradise (1920) and Rachid Mimouni’s Le printemps n’en sera que plus beau (1978). The purpose of our study is to explore the theme of identity crisis and disillusionment in both American and Algerian societies. To reach our purpose, we have relied on some theoretical concepts from Freud’s theory of Psychoanalysis, mainly the concepts of: ‘Id, ego and superego’, ‘the death drive’, ‘Repression’ and ‘trauma’. This dissertation consists of two chapters. The first chapter explores the character’s disillusionment and identity crisis in both This Side of Paradise and Le printemps n’en sera que plus beau using Freud’s psychoanalysis concepts. The second chapter deals with the poetic language used by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rachid Mimouni to state the mood of their epoch. In this part, we have analyzed the different narrative strategies employed by both authors such as: non-linear narrative, interior monologue, poetic language, stream of consciousness and the use of theatrical techniques. In light of our findings, we have unraveled that the respective authors in their selected works share the same points of view regarding the subject matter of study. Through the exploration of the narrative techniques, we have uncovered how both authors had described the mood of their societies in two different periods of time through the characters’ journey.
