Abstract: The purpose of this research is to analyze the main characters' self-perception in selected Langston Hughes's short stories: " Cora Unashamed," " Passing," "Home," " Poor Little Black Fellow," and "Father and Son." The analysis shows that although all of the main characters are African-American, their self-perceptions are different according to their family background, their education and their experiences with the white world. The analysis also reveals that all of them suffer in some ways from contact with the " white world" no matter what their status is; some of them die, and some of them face uncertain futures. In every case, Hughes emphasized the inability of white society to accept African-American as equal. The research suggests that Hughes, who was an African-American, believed that European people were more open-minded about blacks than American people. Finally, one of the results of this study is that while Hughes is most famous for his poems, his stories contain many worthwhile themes for readers to study as well.
