| description | Loneliness is a universal phenomenon that individuals experience at some point their lives regardless of their culture. Hence, the concept of loneliness has been repeatedly discussed and analyzed not only by philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, but also by a great number of writers all through history because of its pervasive role in our individual and social lives. While loneliness as a theme, in general, is employed along with the idea of alienation, in Russian literature, it seems to be related to the term of 'superuous man.' The ideas of dream and love, likewise, have been reected in many works of art and literature. In this light, this paper, within a comparative framework, analyzes two outstanding works - Fyodor Dostoevsky's White Nights (1848) and Sabahattin Ali's Madonna in a Fur Coat (1943) - in terms of their main characters' superuous tendencies diversied by the themes of loneliness, dream, and love. |
