As important figures of the Ottoman history since the 16th century Suleiman the
Magnificent and his wife Roxelane, have become fundamental referents feeding
societal imagery. This study focuses on the analysis of the ‘imagery’ of Roxelane;
a woman who was able to hold power and attain a place in societal imagery in an
age and setting where the role of women was extremely limited. A strong female
archetype, a ‘ruler’ in an Empire where women did not rule and wield power, is
created in the works studied through this imagery. The imagery associated with
‘strong females’ like Catherine de Médicis, Mary Tudor and Elizabeth Tudor who
ruled their respective countries in the 16th century, has gained a distinctive place in
social memory. The imagery has found a wide audience, especially in its manifestation
in fiction. The following study uses J.J. Wunenburger’s definitions of imagery to
examine the imagery of Roxelane and the ways in which it is recreated and re-used
for differing functions in societal memory in two contemporary literary works.
