The problem of disability in Zweig's Beware of Pity and Grass's Tin Drum

Assessments of disability are not only related to physical disability. Presence of depressive problems at various levels may also create a disability. Approaches to this situation are examined in various works. In this respect, examining the concept of disability and presenting a different point of view to disability represent a priority situation in terms of evaluating disability at different levels. The concept of disability may include an assessment of different dimensions, as disability is at a level associated with the point of view of the most important quality that must be perceived nowadays. In the direction of this study, the debates in German literature were developed and Günter Grass's Tin Trumpet was examined by Stefan Zweig's Beware of Pity. Only physically disability was not taken into account in the works, and especially in the Zweig work, the disability situation was evaluated in terms of the intellectual world. In the works of Ayraca, psychoanalytic approach was developed and activities for the family, the social life, the inner world and the language used in the works were evaluated. In particular, the expressions are directed at the behavior of persons with disabilities in need or not, or the behaviors they face by their families and their surroundings. At the same time, another factor can create an effective stance by examining the concept of disability from the point of view of the disabled. The concept of disability from a different framework covers the consideration of the point of view of the other believers in the thought of the disabled. Therefore, perspectives on the concept of disability include evaluations of disability and other people's perspectives. Another important aspect is the relationship between behaviors and behaviors perceived by the disabled. Such elements have been studied with various models. Therefore, the models created in both novels are medical, moral and social models. It is evaluated that all of the models are present within the scope of the works and especially the effect of the social model.
