William Faulkner ve Yusuf Atılgan'ın eserlerinde modernist unsurların incelenmesi

This thesis aims to analyze the modernist elements in the works of William Faulkner and Yusuf Atılgan. It takes as the subject matters William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury and Yusuf Atılgan's The Loiterer and MotherLand Hotel. Modernism is a period that affects every aspect of life, specifically literature. Traditional or established elements in novels and stories have gained a radical momentum with modernism and are frequently portrayed in the works of modernist writers. Yusuf Atılgan and William Faulkner, two important names of Turkish and American literature, are among those who reflect this change abundantly in their works. Especially in their novels, real and dream are given together, and concepts such as consciousness / subconscious invented by Sigmund Freud and his student Carl Jung and inner speech are employed extensively in the characters. The concept of time is no longer directed outward but inward. In addition, as a content component, it is inevitable that the characters often experience loneliness, alienation and attempt to commit suicide, but there are similarities and differences in terms of leitmotif, time and narrative point of view. In our study, we aim to explore the modernist elements in terms of form and technique in Benjy, Quentin, Jason, and Caddy in The Sound and the Fury; The Loiterer's C. and Zebercet in Motherland Hotel.
