Abstract:

It is apparent that Halit Ziya Uşaklıgil, who has many Works in almost every realm of prose in Turkish literature, was influenced by the realist and the naturalist authors in his novels, four of which were published in Izmir, and four in İstanbul. According to Uşaklıgil, characters, one of the most important elements of a novel, should be described in details, and in doing so, physiology-psychology harmony should also be paid attention. In his novels, in which female characters are emphasized in details and vividly, that harmony becomes more apparent. Following the underpinnings and principles of determinism, Uşaklıgil has a very successful, objective style of presenting his characters to his readers along with a fine harmony of appearence-body-psychology. This article is aimed at illustrating the relationship between human physiology, considering the novels of the author.
