Erken dönem Hristiyanlıktan itibaren önemli bir günah olan açgözlülük, edebiyatta tekrarlanan dikkate değer bir temadır ve medeniyetler, edebi eserler ve teolojik sistemler boyunca evrensel olarak yaygınlaşmıştır. Açgözlülük sergileyen insanların Tanrı'nın emrine karşı geldiği ve cezaya çarptırıldığı, ancak O'nun emirlerine içtenlikle uyanların kutsandığı yaygın bir kanıdır. Aleksandr Puşkin'in Maça Kızı ve Binbir Gece Masalları'ndaki Ali Baba ve Kırk Haramiler hikâyelerinin her biri ayrı edebi geleneklere aittir. Bununla birlikte, her iki öykü de açgözlü davranışları sonucunda kendi sonlarıyla karşılaşan aykırı bireyleri tasvir etmektedir. Bu edebi eserlerde, ödüllendirilen ve cezalandırılan olmak üzere iki farklı karakter kümesi bulunmaktadır. İlk karakter grubu eylemleri için ciddi fiziksel ve ruhani sonuçlar yaşarken, diğer grup usulüne uygun olarak ödüllendirilir ya da herhangi bir cezaya maruz bırakılmaz. Bu eserler, ortaya çıktıkları dönemler ve toplumlar arasındaki farklılıklar ne olursa olsun, belirli konuların zaman ve kültür sınırlarını aştığını göstermektedir. Buna bağlı olarak bu çalışma, bambaşka dönemlere ve coğrafyalara ait olan bu iki eserde açgözlülüğün bir özyıkım yöntemine nasıl dönüştüğünü metinsel analiz yöntemiyle ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir.

Greed, a cardinal sin originating from early Christianity, is a notable recurring theme in literature and is universally prevalent throughout civilizations, literary works, and theological systems. It is widely held that people who exhibit greed defy God's command and face punishment, but those who sincerely abide by His commands receive blessings. The works The Queen of Spades by Alexandr Pushkin and The Tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves in The Thousand and One Nights, belong to separate literary traditions. However, both stories depict antagonistic individuals who ultimately meet their own end as a result of their greedy behaviour. In these literary works, there are two different sets of characters, the rewarded and the punished. Within these literary pieces, the initial set of characters experiences significant consequences for their actions, whilst the subsequent group is duly compensated. These works demonstrate that specific topics surpass the limitations of time and culture, regardless of the differences between the eras and communities in which they originated. Accordingly, this study aims to reveal how greed turns into a way of self-destruction in these two works, which belong to completely different periods and geographies, through textual analysis.
