The Red-Haired Woman (2016) by Orhan Pamuk mirrors the east-west dichotomy by father-son relationship. The author integrates the narratives of King Oedipus and Rostam and Sohrab in the nucleus of the text and the protagonist’s experiences; thereby, he not only brings a dual approach to the question of becoming an individual but manifests the inevitability of fate via myths turning into reality. Pamuk's literary modus operandi in the novel lets coincidence find a palpable meaning and become the repetition of past incidents. Carl Gustav Jung’s concepts of collective unconscious and archetype, in this respect, shed considerable light on the ways in which Pamuk’s characters are led by some collectively shared entities. According to Jung, every individual possesses some reflexes, tendencies and instincts shared by all humanity and stored in the very depth of human mind. Jung argues that collective unconscious, being of primitive and universal quality, appears in dreams and myths and latently influences the way man thinks and behaves. Cem Çelik, the protagonist of The Red-Haired Woman, acts so as to exhibit this holistic influence particularly in terms of father-son relationship; to a great extent, his experiences are presented as recurrences of historical/mythical situations and occurrences that have been repeated throughout human history with cultural changes and manifested in myths. Hence, this paper aims to elucidate Pamuk’s use of myths and discourses of patricide/filicide in The Red-Haired Woman through Jungian perspective.
