Mary Fitchett Johnson’ın “Dulun Yeniden Evlenmesi” Başlıklı Sonesinin Psikoanalitik ve Anlatıbilimsel Analizi
Abstract
Bu makale, İngiliz Romantik yazarı Mary Fitchett Johnson'ın “Dulun Yeniden Evlenmesi” başıklı sonesini psikanaliz ve anlatıbilim çerçevesinde incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. 1810'da yayınlanan sone, yeniden evlenmek zorunda kalan dul bir kadının acıklı hikâyesini anlatmaktadır. Vefat eden kocasına hâlâ sadık olan matemli kadın, sadece çocuğu için evlenme teklifini kabul eder ve acısını düğün sırasında davetlilere açığa vurur. Bu çalışma, düğünün konuklarından biri olarak sunulan anlatıcının bakış açısından bu karakterin duygusal acısını ve psikolojisini analiz etmektedir. Çalışma, anlatıcının metinsel düzlemdeki işlevini incelemek için anlatıbilimi kullanmakta ve baş karakterin ayrıntılı bir analizini sunmak için Karen Horney tarafından ileri sürülen nevroz psikoloji teorisinden yararlanmaktadır. Çalışma, kadın karakterin iç içe geçmiş birden çok durum nevrozu yaşadığını, acısının üstesinden gelebilmek ve duygusal durumunu yönetebilmek için her birine karşı benzersiz tutumlar benimsediğini öne sürmektedir.

A PSYCHOANALYTICAL AND NARRATOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF MARY FITCHETT JOHNSON’S SONNET “THE WIDOW’S REMARRIAGE”
Abstract
This paper aims to examine the sonnet of the English Romantic writer, Mary Fitchett Johnson’s “The Widow’s Remarriage” within the framework of psychoanalysis and narratology. Published in 1810, the sonnet narrates the poignant story of a widow who must remarry. Remaining entirely faithful to her deceased husband, the grieving woman accepts the marriage proposal solely for the sake of her child and reveals her agony during the wedding to the eyes of the invited guests. This study analyses the emotional suffering and psychology of this character from the viewpoint of the narrator that is presented as one of the guests at the wedding. It employs narratology to examine the function of the narrator within the textual realm and makes use of the theory of neurosis suggested by Karen Horney to provide a detailed analysis of the protagonist. The study suggests that the female character experiences intricate situation neuroses and adopts unique attitudes towards each one to overcome her pain and manage her emotional state.
