Doris Lessing’s Landlocked is the fourth book in the Children of Violence Series, which follows the internal development of the heroine, Martha Quest. Doris Lessing has explored the theme on the individual conscience in relation with the collective in her works. To deal with this theme properly, Doris Lessing has used multiple techniques. The three books in the series present Martha Quest as divided by society. She is presented with realism while she struggles to achieve self. In The Four-Gated City, the fifth and the last of the series, Martha is presented with mysticism in the course of her development. However, this tendency emerges from Landlocked. In Landlocked Martha directs her development inward with Sufism. Sufism is a kind of mystic religion from Islam. In the West, it became a philosophy rather than a religion. It stresses pursuing, perfecting, and becoming more evolved human beings. The focus is perceived to be primarily on the self. These aspects of Sufism interest Lessing. So she accepted it as a means of unifying Martha’s divided self. Following Thomas Stern’s guidance Martha tries to find her inner self. In doing so she acquires awareness of herself, history and the universe. Sufism invites the use of irrational elements such as intuition, madness, and extra sensory perception to recover the divided self lost in rationalism and becoming a whole being.
