  ABSTRACT: This paper applies Verschueren’s Adaptation Theory to examine the pragmatic identity construction of Theodore Decker, the protagonist in Donna Tartt’s novel The Goldfinch. The findings show that Theodore adapts to mental, social, and physical worlds during communication, constructing identities as a criminal, a hedonist, and a thinker to achieve his pragmatic goals.
