Luigi Pirandello’nun Altı Karakter Yazarını Arıyor (1921, Sei personaggi in cerca d’autore) başlıklı oyunu, Lionel Abel tarafından ortaya atılan meta-tiyatro kavramının birçok önemli ve işlevsel özelliğini barındırmaktadır. Meta-tiyatronun böylesi özelliklerinden ve oyun içinde oyun tekniğinden yararlanan Pirandello’nun eseri, yazarını arayan altı karakteri yansıtmaktadır. Bu çalışma bu bağlamda öncelikle meta-tiyatro kavramını ve kavramın Pirandello’nun eserinde nasıl kullanıldığını açıklayarak Altı Karakter’in eleştirel bir incelemesini sunacaktır. Metnin eleştirel inceleme sürecinde birincil kaynaktan spesifik örneklerden ve konu ile ilgili ikincil kaynaklardan yararlanılacaktır. Bu noktada; gerçeklik ve hayal, yaşam, sanat ve ailenin temsili gibi oyunda önemli bir yere sahip temalar, çalışmanın tartışma kapsamı çerçevesinde ele alınacaktır. Çalışma, sonuç olarak Pirandello'nun rollerini yerine getirmeyi başaran ve konumlarının farkında olan altı karakter sunduğunu ve bu durumun aslında karakterler arasındaki aile ilişkilerini ortaya çıkardığını göstermektedir.

Luigi Pirandello’s play, Six Characters in Search of an Author (1921, Sei personaggi in cerca d’autore) portrays numerous significant and functional characteristics of metatheatre, a concept coined by Lionel Abel. By drawing on such metatheatrical features and the play within a play technique, Pirandello’s play presents six characters that are in search of an author. This study will, therefore, explain the concept of metatheatre and present a critical analysis of the play, Six Characters as a self-reflexive play. In this critical engagement with the text through specific references from the play and relevant secondary sources, important themes in the play such as reality and illusion, life, art, and the representation of the family in the play will be analysed. This analysis will ultimately demonstrate that Pirandello presents six characters that are self-conscious of their position as dramatic characters that manage to act out their roles, which actually reveal the family relationships between the characters.
