Abstract
The main objectives of this study are to show how individuals mimic the upper class as they cannot truly reach them, with the lower class placing significant value and emphasis on the elite. The research examines why the middle class mimics the elite and how the elite functions as a colonizer in this dynamic. It explores the motivations behind this mimicry, leading to three outcomes: a hybrid culture, a crisis of identity, and social isolation. Descriptive and qualitative research along with textual analysis, form the methodology. The primary source is Mohsin’s The Diary of a Social Butterfly, supported by critical literary theory, research papers, and literature reviews. Results reveal that the central character, the Butterfly, imitates and adapts to the elite class's Western-influenced culture. To address these issues, literature must promote cultural blending positively, reconnect individuals to their roots, and emphasize human connection to combat social isolation.
