EXPLORING POLITENESS AND POWER DYNAMICS IN JOHN FOWLES’ THE COLLECTOR IN THE LIGHT OF FEMINIST APPROACH

Yıl 2024, Cilt: 1 Sayı: 1, 31 - 38, 15.12.2024

Öz

This study examines the theme of kindness in John Fowles’ novel The Collector. The story centres on the relationship of Frederick Clegg, a complex male protagonist and Miranda Grey, his victim. Here politeness is emphasized, revealing the hidden aspects of social structure and the gendering of characters. Social politeness, exemplified in Clegg’s framework, is not the same as violence within, and it exposes the gap between what people are expected to do in a social setting and what they actually do. On the other hand, the way Miranda reacts to Clegg’s acts of politeness depicts how women are expected to behave and feel under patriarchal conditions. By focusing on the nuances of power and control, the study addresses issues of power dynamics in the interplay between men and women, which is especially prominent in the narrative.

Öz

Bu çalışma, John Fowles'ın The Collector adlı romanındaki nezaket temasını feminist bir bakış açısıyla incelemektedir. Hikaye, erkek karakter Frederick Clegg ile tutsağı Miranda Grey arasındaki karmaşık güç ve kontrol dinamiklerine odaklanmaktadır. Nezaket, her iki karakterin de içinde olduğu altta yatan toplumsal normları ve cinsiyet rollerini ortaya çıkaran kritik bir mekanizma olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Clegg’in nezaketi, şiddet içeren eylemleriyle keskin bir tezat oluşturarak toplumsal beklentiler ile kişisel ahlak arasındaki uyuşmazlığı vurgulamaktadır. Bu arada Miranda’nın, Clegg’in davranışlarına verdiği tepkiler, ataerkil yapılar içinde kadınlara uygulanan kısıtlamaları yansıtmaktadır. Bu çalışma, nezaket ve gücün etkileşimini analiz ederek, romanın toplumsal cinsiyet ilişkileri ve insan etkileşimlerindeki kontrolün sinsi doğası hakkındaki yorumunu vurgulamaktadır.
