| Özet |
| The myth of Sodom and Gomorrah reflects the battle between ‘man and sanctity’ through ‘cursed’ cities. Man who has become slave to his own ego appears as the ultimate challenger of god and this unusual behavior triggers the struggle between good and evil in humans and the like. This conflict is analyzed in Giradoux, Yakup Kadri and Proust’s Sodom and Gomorrah and assessed in terms of the individual conditions surrounding each author. This conflict lead us to doctrines of Manichaeism dealing with the never-ending struggle between good and evil which man finds himself conditioned to undertake. The three authors deal with the theme of moral decadence through the symbolism in this biblical myth. Proust portrays a dissolute society where all human and societal relations are corrupted, the antagonism of social classes – the Bourgeoisie and the Aristocracy- continues in full force to the detriment of the most basic of human values. Giradoux deals with interfamilial conflicts, one of the main consequences of societal breakdown. Yakup Kadri refers to the ebb of human values during the events surrounding the occupation of Istanbul. The way the authors approach ‘good and evil’ through the myth of Sodom and Gomorrah are similar and this is reminiscent of a world view reflecting the political, societal and moral struggles which effect our era. |
