Abstract

In
this article, we investigate the nature of sin in human beings. This search
leads us to look into the human soul and the inclination towards evil. To
explore the drives behind evil deeds, three short stories, namely “Young
Goodman Brown”, “The Demon Lover”, and “Hunters in the Snow” are analysed
through the understanding of psychoanalysis with the help of Freudian and
Jungian theories. The reflections of their Unconscious can be seen in the
journeys of the main characters, which enables us to detect the fact that
“evil” resides in every person no matter which era they belong to.

Abstract

Bu makalede, insanın günahlarının doğasını incelemekteyiz. Bu inceleme bizi insan ruhunun ve insanın kötüye olan eğiliminin derinliklerine götürür. Kötü eylemlerin arkasında yatan dürtüleri bulmak için, “Young Goodman Brown”, “The Demon Lover” ve “Hunters in the Snow” adlı kısa öyküler Freud ve Jung’un teorilerinin yardımıyla, psikanaliz yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Hikayelerin baş karakterlerinin yaptıkları yolculuklar boyunca bilinç dışı yansımaları görülmektedir. Bu yansımalar bizi kötülüğün, hangi çağda yaşamış olursa olsun her insanın içinde var olduğu sonucuna ulaştırır.
