A MYTHICAL APPROACH TO YAŞAR KEMAL’S NOVELS: AĞRI DAĞI EFSANESI AND YER DEMİR GÖK BAKIR
Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 47
Abstract
The novella written by Yaşar Kemal titled Ağrı Dağı Efsanesi and the novel Yer Demir Gök Bakır are literary texts about the creation of myths and the local people’s attitude towards these myths. Emphasis is placed on the belief of the local people where there is no hope in their lives, as well as the importance of setting and the characters’motives in both texts. In this study, based on Cuddon’s definition, the samples of mythical motives and the mythical elements presented in the texts were put into two different groups; one being supernatural beings and the other being supra-human beings. The influence of the myths on the people in their lives is the main focus in the literary texts written by the same author, Yaşar Kemal.
