PERSONA AND PARABASIS IN ERHAN BENER'S NOVEL OF OYUNCU
In his novels, Erhan Baner focuses the inner world of individuals. Even his novels including intense societal and politic content, while he chooses to tell his story from an individual angle. The novel of Oyuncu, in which Bener is problematising role playing/acting is about the life of Kerim Turgut, the main character, who is a successful lawyer and a good novelist. As an artist novel, plenty of cues can be found about his artist personality and creation process in this piece of art. Written with novel within novel technique, in Oyuncu, a marvelous mixture of people's role playing of certain societal roles and divulgation of this play is presented fabulously. In this assay we aimed to discover the role playing/acting behaviors of the characters in Oyuncu, which propound the thesis of life is a play stage, from Jung’s ‘persona’ archetype perspective; and also divulgation of the play process is analyzed from a perspective
of the ‘parabisis’, an antique comedy part.
