Nobodies

Nobodies, in a general sense, refers to individuals or entities that are unrecognized, insignificant, or lack identity. This concept can appear in various contexts, from philosophy and sociology to fiction. Philosophically, a nobody might be someone who feels invisible or unheard in society, struggling to assert their presence or influence. Sociologically, the term can describe marginalized groups or individuals who are systematically excluded from mainstream power structures and cultural narratives, thus rendering them "nobody" in the eyes of dominant society.

In literature and popular culture, "Nobodies" often take on a more literal interpretation. This can include characters who are literally nameless, unknown, or have had their identities erased. In some fictional universes, "Nobodies" can be specific types of beings, such as the antagonists in the Kingdom Hearts video game series, who are beings born from the darkness in people's hearts after their hearts are lost. These fictional Nobodies often struggle with their lack of self and seek to regain a sense of identity or existence. The theme of being a "nobody" can be explored to highlight issues of belonging, self-worth, and the human desire for recognition. Regardless of the specific context, the idea of a "nobody" generally evokes a sense of anonymity, lack of impact, or a struggle for acknowledgement.
