The Reflectıons of The Wrong Westernızatıon to Women-Men Relatıons on The Storıes of Omer Seyfettın


Ömer Seyfettin, who lived between 1884 and 1920, is an important step in the Turkish story. Although he has works in the field of poetry and prose, he is known mostly for his short stories in literary life, and he is fully committed to writing himself by resigning from his military service. He has succeeded in reflecting the Turkish society within the framework of his ideas in his stories, which are generally fed from current events. Ömer Seyfettin, who lived in the most complicated and open to changes in Turkish history, served as a soldier for most of his short life, and witnessed political changes and suffering, especially II. In his stories that he wrote after the Constitutional Monarchy, he included important concepts of social life such as male-female relations, marriage and love and examined the situation of Turkish society within the framework of these concepts before and after. In his turbulent times in the last years of the Ottoman Empire, the state and society experienced the confrontation he faced in encountering the west. The degeneration observed in the society around the stages of marriage, female-male relations and westernization find their place in the stories. Accordingly, the criticisms that are mentioned in Ömer Seyfettin's stories will be examined with examples from the texts.
