In recent decades, literary narratives have increasingly moved beyond traditional frameworks to engage with issues of gender fluidity, intersectionality, and hybrid identities shaped by globalization<span> </span>and<span> </span>social<span> </span>transformation.<span> </span>The<span> </span>research<span> </span>adopts<span> </span>a<span> </span>mixed-method<span> </span>approach,<span> </span>combining qualitative<span> </span>textual<span> </span>analysis<span> </span>of<span> </span>selected<span> </span>literary<span> </span>works<span> </span>with<span> </span>quantitative<span> </span>analysis<span> </span>of<span> </span>social<span> </span>media<span> </span>user<span> </span>behavior to understand how identity is both represented in literature and enacted in contemporary society.

However, differences are noted in the depth of engagement, with literature offering nuanced interpretations while digital spaces often encourage performative expressions.
