                            <p>Tom Franklin&#039;in Poachers adlı novellası, Güney Gotik edebiyatının temel unsurları olan şiddet, yoksulluk ve yalnızlık temalarını ele alır. Eser, Amerika’nın güney bölgesinde geçen ve insan doğasının karanlık yönlerine odaklanan karmaşık bir şiddet anlatısıdır. Baş karakter Kirxy ve Gates kardeşlerin hikayesi, şiddetin fiziksel ve psikolojik etkilerini ortaya koyar. Franklin, doğa betimlemeleriyle şiddeti iç içe geçirerek, okuru karakterlerin şiddet dolu dünyasına çeker. Güney kültürünün bölgesel unsurları ve toplumsal dışlanmışlık, karakterlerin şiddete olan eğilimlerini pekiştirir. Ayrıca, savaş travmaları gibi kişisel sebepler de karakterlerin şiddet uygulamalarının nedenlerinden biridir. Poachers, insanın kötülüğe olan yatkınlığını açığa çıkarırken, şiddetin bireysel ve toplumsal boyutlarını derinlemesine inceler. Bu makalenin amacı, Franklin&#039;in Poachers eserindeki şiddet temsilini sergilemek ve bunun karakterler üzerindeki etkilerini analiz etmektir.</p></trans-abstract>

The work is a complex narrative of violence that takes place in the American South and focuses on the darker aspects of human nature. The story of the main characters, Kirxy and the Gates brothers, reveals the physical and psychological effects of violence. Franklin draws the reader into the violent world of the characters by intertwining nature descriptions with violence. Regional elements of Southern culture and social exclusion reinforce the characters&#039; tendency towards violence. In addition, personal reasons such as war traumas are among the reasons for the characters&#039; violence. Poachers reveals the human tendency towards evil and deeply examines the individual and social dimensions of violence. The purpose of this article is to exhibit Franklin&#039;s representation of violence in Poachers and analyze its effects on the characters.</p></abstract>
