“Bir Kadın Düşmanı” ve “Kara Kitap” Adlı Eserlerde Güzel Çirkin Çelişkisi ve Ötekileştirme Sorunu

In the comparative studies, Reşat Nuri Güntekin's "The Novel of the Ugly" (Or"A Misogynist") and Suat Derviş Baraner's "The Black Book" deal with the depths of the human soul, subconscious traumas, the struggle for life, and the individual problems of the person who is alienated by prejudiced social treatment in their own unique way. In both works, there is the contradiction of beauty and ugliness, good and evil, mercy and cruelty, and the motif of "escape" and "liberation" is emphasized. Let's state that the dilemma of beauty and ugliness addressed in the work is not just an aesthetic category. It contains the secrets of the human soul, deeper meanings, and differs in terms of perspective and inner beauty. Although the heroes of both works have beautiful hearts, they are people who are alienated because of their appearance, because they are ugly in appearance. Due to these issues, people who feel alienated from themselves and society, marginalized, and turned into strangers, find themselves in a tragic situation. This state, reflecting the spiritual structure of humanity, is depicted poignantly in the work. As can be seen, the heroes of both works experience the feeling of innocent guilt and are ashamed of the ugliness of their appearance. In these works, which have a lyrical-psychological quality, the tense conflict of an outwardly ugly young man with his environment is addressed, and the struggle he makes between beauty and ugliness, mercy and cruelty, good and evil is stated. These opposing concepts have the nature of a conflicting creative component. Both very important problems were touched upon, the psychological states of the main characters were analyzed, and the contradiction between beauty and ugliness was emphasized. Ziya (A Misogynist), known by the nickname Homongolos, and the Hunchback Hasan (The Black Book) experience similar terrible fates due to their appearances. The works mentioned in the report have been studied comparatively for the first time. Fac-tors such as environment, social life, and society are emphasized and examined, addressing problems such as social exclusion and alienation. The comparative research method was used in the study.
