Yetenekli Psikolog Dick Diver'ın Trajik Yok Oluşu

Abstract

F. Scott Fitzgerald’ın Buruktur Gece adlı romanı eğitim ve kariyer gibi güçlü özelliklere sahip bir psikoloğun yeni bir sosyal statüye geçerken ortaya çıkan histeri ve melankoli gibi ruhsal bozuklukların karakteri nasıl trajik bir yok oluşa götürdüğünü göstermektedir. Bu bakımdan romanın başkahramanı ve bir zamanlar ruhsal hastalar için uyguladığı psikolojik tedavilerinden dolayı çok iyi bilinen ve saygı duyulan Dick Diver’in trajik çöküşünü ve kadınlara karşı cinsel arzularından dolayı yok oluşunu anlayabilmek için bu çalışma romandaki parçalar arasındaki yapı ve boşlukları Freud’un histeri ve melankoli teorileri üzerinden açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır.
