Abstract :

The women are the protagonists of Leylâ Erbil’s stories. Nearly all the stories are found on woman characters. Moreover, the story is communicated by their points of view and sound. Thus, the narrator voice of many stories belongs to women. In this study, it had been dwelled on what kind of a route was followed while forming the fiction, what is described how, competency, position, preference -in narration- and point of view against the characters of female narrators through factors such as the story line, individuals, time and space. It was tried to clarify at what degree the ideology of Leylâ Erbil affected discourse and acts of the narrator and the stories were tried to be analyzed by the points of view of women. Thus, the factors such as language, wording and expression technique relevant to the narrator and point of view was also mentioned in the study, all stories of the author were subjected to review. Leylâ Erbil places the first person narrator and her point of view at the center of the fiction in her stories; the stories are generally communicated by the women “I-the narrator”; in many stories -in which first person narrator is being observed-, stream of consciousness, internal monologue and flashback techniques intertwine. It is observed that the ideology, which the author adopts in sections that she undertakes the narration, is being reflected on the discourse and acts of both the woman narrators and the characters. In the stories, the author and the woman narrators -being in the position of her spokesperson- direct strong criticism to ones that they don’t adopt their thought and living styles. The inner worlds of woman narrators -who want to realize their existence- are covered with feelings such as pessimism, meaninglessness, uneasiness and depression. The spiritual world of the woman narrators -who are unable to create the social order they imagine, and change the traditional point of view of the society and the male dominant mentality perceiving the women as sexual object- are shattered, and no purpose had remained which would connect them to life. The shattered / divided structure of the individualities of woman narrators is reflected on their language as a reaction, and consequently a phrasing shattering the current rules of language becomes dominant.
