Summary: | In this study, two novels, Madam Bovary, which Gustave Flaubert, one of the prominent
authors, published in 1857, and Kiralık Konak by Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu from the
Turkish literature have been analyzed especially in terms of their main female characters. The
main similarities of these novels seem to be their themes, their attitudes towards the political
and social issues, and the fact that they put forward the criticism towards those periods. In
terms of the narrative elements of the novels, Madam Bovary’s Emma and Kiralık Konak’s
Seniha, the main female characters of the novels, are also the central characters, who direct
the plotline to a considerable extent. In both novels, time and space are completely made to
make sense in terms of these female characters. It is also obvious that their personal traits
have become dominant factors in reflecting the themes. In this study, we will try to analyze
these novels, focusing on these main female characters. It will be noticed that these two
women, who are made to resemble each other in terms of their similar tendencies, their
passions and desires are, in fact, unique and different because of their distinctive features |
