Sabahattin Ali'nin Eserlerinde İnsan

Abstract

In this study, Sabahattin Ali's view of people and the reflections of male and female characters in their literary works were examined within the framework of psychology. Sabahattin Ali handled the geography he lived in within its economic structure. Within the framework of this purpo-se, the author deals with the profiteering rich and the intellectuals who pur-sue their personal interests, the people of villages and towns who adhere to strict moral values, in an effort to understand and reflect them as a holistic. The author, who takes the source of literature from life, elaborates the Ana-tolian villagers, the problems of village life, the situation of his characters in society, how they adapt or resist, and the effects of life and nature on life. Having a realistic point of view, the author handled the characters and events with reality, and acted with an effort to reveal the injustices and the problems experienced. For the writer who adopts the aim of promoting the individual to the better, right and beautiful, man is inherently good. It is a corrupt social order that leads people to abuse. The theme of love is one of the main issues that Sabahattin Ali deals with about humanity. The love theme usually ends with a drama. The characters in their stories sometimes risk unbearable pain and devotion in order to meet the lover. While love is sometimes handled in an abstract and personal way, it is sometimes addres-sed in a concrete way that integrates the individual and society in daily life. When the author's works are examined, it is seen that the social context in which women are located, taking into account the gender and class distinc-tion. It is stated that the female characters develop a stance against gender discrimination. Characters, carry their love and life styles beyond the expe-rienced oppression. When male characters are examined, it is striking that idealistic characters and class-poor individuals can create meaning in life due to their strong and ideals of life. However, it is seen that bohemian and class-rich individuals have weak ties with life and cannot create goals. In the characters of Sabahattin Ali's works, it is seen that individuals who are in harmony with social life and devote themselves to their love or dignity make their lives meaningful.
