Abstract

Abstract Alienation is one of the most widely-confronted phenomena not only in philosophy, psychology, sociology and politics, but also in literature of various genres. Almost every individual in society inevitably experiences some form of alienation in their everyday lives. Othello, the title character in one of William Shakespeare s most well-known tragedies bearing the same name, stands alone despite his military prowess and services he had done to a civilized city reputed for its democracy and tolerance towards outsiders. Throughout the play, readers as well as audiences find Othello desperately striving to accommodate himself into the perfect Venetian of higher birth, to embrace the Venetian concepts of race, gender, religion, matrimony, sexuality and power and to break away from the typical characteristics of a stereotyped Moor.However, his blackness and his exotic notions of honesty as well as honor become indication of his otherness and alienation, which make him a target of derogatory and disrespectful remarks when his matrimony to Brabantio s daughter was discovered. This article attempts to find out and analyze Othello s transition from an honorary white to a complete outcast due to the effect of both racial and sensual difference.

Özet

Yabancılaşma sadece felsefe, psikoloji, sosyoloji ve siyasette değil, aynızamanda çeşitli tarzlardaki edebiyatlarda da en çok karşı karşıya kalınan olaylardan bir tanesidir. Hemen hemen toplumdaki her birey günlükyaşamlarında bir çeşit yabancılaşmayı yaşaması kaçınılmazdır. William Shakespearein aynı adı taşıyan en tanınmış trajedilerinden olan oyunun başkahramanı,Othello askeri maharet ve yabancılara karşı gösterdiği demokrasi ve hoşgörüsüyle tanınmış uygar bir kente yaptığı hizmetlerine rağmen yalnızbulunmaktadır. Eserin başından sonuna kadar, hem okuyucular hem de izleyiciler Othelloyu asalet sahibi mükemmel Venediklilere ayak uydurmak,Venediklerin ırk, cinsiyet, din, evlilik, cinsellik ve güç anlayışını benimsemek ve tipik bir Berberi özelliklerinden kurtulmak için can havliyle çalışırkenbulmuşlardır. Ancak, kendisinin siyahlığı, onun egzotik dürüstlük ve onur anlayışı Brabantionun kızıyla olan evliliği ortaya çıkınca aşağılayıcı vesaygısız yorumların bir hedefi yapan ötekiliğinin ve yabancılaşmasının göstergesi olmuştur. Bu makale Othellonun, ırksal ve duygusal farklılığındandolayı fahri beyaz olarak bulunmaktan tamamiyle bir dışlanmış bir kimseye dönüşmesini bulmaya ve incelemeye çalışmaktadır
