MACBETH VE KARA KİTAP ESERLERİNİN YAPISÖKÜM TEORİSİ IŞIĞINDA KARŞILAŞTIRMALI İNCELEMESİ - A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MACBETH AND KARA KİTAP IN LIGHT OF DECOUNSTRUCTION THEORY

Gözde Begüm Mızrak

Shakespeare'in Macbeth ve Orhan Pamuk'un Kara Kitap adlı eserlerini Yapısöküm Kuramı açısından ele alan bu çalışma, ikili karşıtlıkların kullanımı, hırs ve belirsizlik temaları gibi ortak temalar ve paylaştıkları unsurlar açısından karşılaştırmalı bir analize ışık tutmayı amaçlamaktadır. Söz konusu eserler, özellikle İngiliz Edebiyatı'nın kanonlaştırılan eserlerinin Dünya Edebiyatı eserleriyle karşılaştırılması alanındaki boşluk tespit edilerek seçilmiştir. Shakespeare'in ünlü eserlerini İngiliz Edebiyatı'ndaki diğer eserlerle veya yine kendisinin çeşitli eserleriyle karşılaştıran çalışma sayıca fazla olmakla birlikte, Macbeth gibi öncü bir eseri Türk Edebiyatı gibi Dünya Edebiyatından bir eserle birlikte inceleyen eserlerin sayısı görece azdır. Ayrıca, mevcut araştırmalardaki ortak eğilim, eserleri tarihi, feminist veya psikolojik teorilerin bakış açılarıyla ele alma eğilimindedir. Bu anlamda dekonstrüktif bir yaklaşımla Macbeth'e odaklanılmasına ve Macbeth'in Türk Edebiyatı'ndan bir edebi eser olan Pamuk'un postmodern romanı Kara Kitap'la karşılaştırılmasına karar verilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda ikili karşıtlıkların çözülmeye açık olduğu ve kolaylıkla yapıbozuma uğratılabileceği verilerine ulaşılmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra, iki metnin içerdikleri ortak tema olan 'belirsizlik' unsurları sebebiyle, amaçlanan anlamı geciktiren ve hem okuyucuyu hem de hırslı eylemleriyle dürtülenen ana karakterleri kararsız bırakan bir anlam ertelemesine neden olduğu sonuçlarına varılmıştır.

Shakespeare's Macbeth has been written to show the evil nature of human being. How a person with good nature suddenly can turn into a wicked one, and that is usually happens because of extreme greed for power and higher position in his milieu. In this play, Shakespeare has exhibited the ambitious mind of Macbeth and lady Macbeth which has been forced them to commit the most vicious deeds towards the king Duncan. Shakespeare in this play didn't only portray the vicious nature of a man who got success in his villainous intentions but also showed that the natural order of things can regain its original shape. In this way my paper will eventually elucidate about Shakespeare's notion of depicting the transformation of a good person into a wicked one. Macbeth and lady Macbeth were two significant characters in this play who has been played the role of evil minded souls.

Lady Macbeth of Macbeth is one of the most widely discussed characters created by Shakespeare. In the drama, just after Macbeth's disclosure to her as regards the witches' prophecy, she decides to pursue the shortest way to reach her goal within the shortest possible time. She instantly plans to kill King Duncan to enable Macbeth to ascend the Scottish throne. In this process she ultimately plans to have her share in power and prestige with her husband. To prepare herself for the horrible act of the murder, Lady Macbeth completely rejects natural and vital contents and functions of her soul or self. It is the dreadful banishment of self from life. It is tantamount to a manifold distortion of her feminine and human soul. She succeeds in her attempt only to experience the unbearable weight of regret and remorse that finally causes her to punish herself terribly in her own morose conditions which is life's banishment from self, a downfall of colossal magnitude. This article aims at understanding the significance of this issue by studying the functioning of Lady Macbeth's soul from the perspective of philosophy. This will also be done and by juxtaposing her with characters of similar nature from some of the great literary works.

This article explores the aetiology and the psychogenesis of Macbeth's tyrannical ambitions and the growth of his psychic degradation. Macbeth deigns to be an incorrigible regicide, but his ambition is ultimately overpowered by his conscience. This aporetic conflict is ultimately fatal to his morality and sense of Self. Character analysis informed by psychoanalytic criticism will investigate the protagonist's tormented psyche in its struggle between the ego-syntonic (Persona) and the ego-dystonic (Shadow) leading to neurosis that culminates in psychosis as Macbeth's identity fractures throughout the play. The ontological issue of the Witches is explored in an attempt to explain the role the metamorphic environment plays in Macbeth's psychic atrophy. For this reason, the Witches present us with the conundrum of their being both phenomenal and noumenal. Macbeth's difficulty to distinguish between the real and the phantasmagoric results in a psychotic breakdown. Accordingly, he becomes a mad tyrant seeking to protect his unlawful reign.
