Almost all memories with mother are joyful and they are what connect Futh, the hero of the novel, to life. Especially the lighthouse, which can be regarded as a concretized form of beautiful memories with the mother, functions as a source and energy of life for him. Still, it is the unbearable memories, the memories of loss and abandonment, the memories of betrayal that gradually lead him to death and dominate his life. It might be argued that Futh was already dead and buried in memories as his absence is not noticed by others. He is abandoned and betrayed by a mother and a wife, who, in Futh’s eyes, would hopefully replace the absent mother. In short, Futh’s life as narrated in the novel is nothing but an account of memories, mostly tragic, which dominate his life and prevent Futh from living in a sense. }, number={13}, publisher={Tekirdağ Namık Kemal Üniversitesi}
