XIAOLU GUO'NUN “VILLAGE OF STONE” VE DACIA MARAINI'NIN “THE SILENT DUCHESS” ADLI ROMANLARINDA YALNIZLIK, ŞİDDET VE YENİDEN DOĞUŞ
Abstract
The Village ve The Silent Duchess adlı romanlar günümüz ve 18. yüzyıl erkek egemen toplumunda kadına uygulanan baskıyı ele almaktadır. Her iki romanın kahramanı da benzer deneyimlerden geçmekte ve romanlar da benzer şekilde sona ermektedir. Karamsar ve kasvetli başlayan romanlar sonunda geleceğe ümit ve iyimserlikle bakmaktadırlar. Bu çerçevede, bu çalışma kahramanların karşılaştıkları zorlukları ele almakta ve kendi iradelerini ortaya koydukları sürece kadınların zafere ulaşacaklarının kaçınılmaz olduğunu göstermektedir.

LONELINESS, VIOLENCE AND REBIRTH IN XIALOU GUO'S VILLAGE OF STONE AND DACIA MARAINI'S THE SILENT DUCHESS
Abstract
The Village of Stone and The Silent Duchess are contemporary novels which depict clearly the oppression on women in the male-dominated society both in the 18th century and in our times. Both heroines have a similar experience in life and the endings of the novels are identical. The gloomy, depressive atmosphere of each novel turns into hope and optimisim in relation to the future. This paper analyses the hardships both protagonists go through and despite the difculties they face, it suggests that so long as women assert their own will, they are destined to reach victory.
