A STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF ORDUBADI’S DRAMA “SEVGİLƏR”

Abstract

M. Said Ordubadi who started his literary career in the beginning of the XX. century was an Azerbaijani contemporary novelist. He always aimed to reach his reader and be didactic with his works. Ordubadi who wrote to be benefit to people, is renowned for historical novels in Azerbaijani literature. But he started with poetry and continued to write in other genres like short stories and novels too. He also wrote some essays for some magazines or newspapers. Some of his dramas were published in little books or journals when he was alive or some of them were published after his death, for the first time in “Əsərləri” in Bakı, 1964. His two dramas published in this book are in verse. And the other four dramas are in prose. “Sevgilər” and “Maral” are the dramas written in verse. This examination is a stylistic analysis of Ordubadi’s poetic drama “Sevgilər”. The instrinsic approach has been taken as the basis for this analysis. According to the available data, none of his dramas has ever been examined in terms of stylistics. So the analysis based on some stylistic devices has aimed to show what sort of personal style Ordubadi tried to use to reach his audience or reader. This examination will provide the readers/audience some concrete examples with reference to how Ordubadi deliberately used stylistic devices in the drama.
