The result of this study shows that Helga Crane as a mulatto gets rejection from white and black society even from her own family. The psyche of a mulatto as a racial hybrid is colonized by otherness and unhomeliness feeling. A mulatto lives in escapism by back and forth in white and black society in order to avoid the ambivalence of physical and psychological experience. Quicksand is the voice of Nella Larsen to convey to the readers about how a mulatto faces the life. Mulatto lives like quicksand that belongs to everywhere and nowhere.
