Reflections of the black ghettoization process in the selected African - American plays in ethnically specific perspectives

İpek, Esra

Art makers have taken significant responsibilities and undoubtedly, all the African-American playwrights, like other artists, have struggled to convey their various purposes to their community for social mobility such as raising coloured people’s awareness, educating them about their circumstances, and making them take an active role in their liberation process rather than being passive. Thanks to this regeneration, the misconception about Afro-American history may be corrected from the beginning with the acceptance of the duality in their identities without ceasing one of them; Africanness an ...Daha fazlası

The stigma of the fallen woman in the novels of jude the obscure and Yeryüzünde Bir Melek

Emiroğlu, Ecem Başak

Regardless of the cultural differences, the 19th century Victorian England and Tanzimat Period in Ottoman Empire had similar expectations from women. The two novelists from these two countries, Thomas Hardy and Ahmet Mithat Efendi, had critical attitude towards such expectations. Thus they created socially unacceptable but acceptable for them heroines. Afterall, for some Sue Bridehead is Hardy’s main focus and similarly for Ahmet Mithat Raziye is still an angel. The reason why these two heroines are unacceptable for the society’s of their days is intriguing. Considering all these, the aim of t ...Daha fazlası

Bloody, bold and resolute: Dimensions of power in Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth

Tönel, Utku

This thesis argues that there is a symbiotic relationship between the actions of characters making use of different aspects of power, and the plot progression in three tragedies by William Shakespeare; Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, whose plots were built upon a problem of succession. For this purpose, the Aristotelian definition of tragedy was used in conjunction with the notion of power as defined by Steven Lukes throughout the study. To identify how this interaction helps build the dramatic structure, Thomas Pavel’s concept of move was utilised to pinpoint the plot progressionin the three ...Daha fazlası

Dialogic discourse in John Fowles’s fiction

His literary concepts reflect the autonomy of the characters, dialogue, and multi-voiced language systems. He advocated for unfinalizability, the idea of freedom of the characters, and the diversity of the languages within a novel. According to Bakhtin, language was not only a tool for communication and should be examined with its social context. His concer ...Daha fazlası
