Abstract
The intention of this article is to analyze Lillian Hellman’s play The Children’s Hour (1934) in terms of the intersections of body and space. For this reason, this play has previously been analyzed in terms of feminism and sexual identities, but this article proposes to bring a new perspective concentrating on theories of both the body and space. For this purpose, this article attempts to reveal how public space and private space coincide with each other and reveal that sexual identities can also be socially constructed.

Abstract
Bu makalenin amacı Lillian Hellman’ın Büyükler ve Küçükler (1934) isimli tiyatro oyununu beden ve mekân çatışmaları bağlamında incelemektir. Bu nedenle, şimdiye kadar pek çok makale bu tiyatro oyununu feminist ve cinsel kimlikler bağlamında incelemiş olsa da bu makale hem beden hem de mekan teorileri eşliğinde yeni bir bakış açısı getirebileceğini önermektedir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, beden, mekân teorileri eşliğinde kamusal ve özel alanın bu oyunda nasıl iç içe geçtiği ve cinsel kimliklerinde sosyal olarak oluşturulabileceğini göstermeyi amaçlamıştır.
