Abstract

Moreover, the other characteristic of the work is thatit strikingly depicts the place of women in the late Victorian Age. Therefore both, The Secret Agent, andthe main female character are well worth analysing. The aim of the study is to analyse Winnie Verloc,who has a complicated and deep character.

Özet

19. yüzyılın sonlarında ve 20. yüzyılın başında İngiliz edebiyatına pek çok eser kazandıran Polonyaasıllı İngiliz yazar Joseph Conrad eserlerinde çoğunlukla sömürgecilik ve emperyalizm ile birlikte bunlarınortaya çıkardığı olumsuzlukları kaleme almıştır. J. Conradın eserlerindeki başkarakterler genellikleerkektir. Gizli Aj an romanı hem politik içerikli konusuyla hem de başkarakterinin bir kadın olmasıözelliğiyle Conradın diğer romanlarından ilk bakışta hemen ayrılır. Romanın bir diğer özelliği de Viktor- ya Döneminde kadının toplumdaki yerini çok çarpıcı bir şekilde ortaya koymasıdır. Gizli Aj an romanıniçerik ve yaratılan karakterler açısından farklı oluşu romanı incelemeye değer bir eser kılmıştır. Bu çalış- manın amacı, Conradın yarattığı karmaşık ve derin bir kadın başkarakter olan Winnie Verlocu incele- mektir.
