AZRA: GELENEKSELLİKLE MODERNLİK ARASINDA İDEAL BİR KARAKTER

Abstract

ABSTRACT In character analysis, generally “Negative Alafranga” types have been reviewed. “Positive Alafranga” types have been neglected. In this context in our study, Azra who is reflected as a positive character in Halit Ziya?s “Nesli Ahir” novel, has been examined. Azra, in addition to strong oriental reflexes, she is a character that internalized all the western cultural elements. It has been designed against the degenerated alafranga girls who change theirs ranks by reading a book. “Orientalism” and “Westernalism” as a main theme, has been penetrated into the work and has formated hero?s literate discourse. With his personel features not chaotic, but has prefered a linear harmony with his neighborhood.
