Özet:

Cengiz Aytmatov, one of the most important writers of Soviet Literature, uses the land in which he was born and grew, the most important parts of verbal literature that reflects his own culture, tales, legends, mythologies. Thus, the writer, who says he has a connection with the past, expresses that it adds a separate beauty to his works, a separate wealth. The writer, who has his works in Russian and Kyrgyz language, needs stories, his novels are very loved and his reputation is spread to the world. In this study, the author’s novel “White Ship” published in the Novıy Mir magazine in 1970 is trying to do the character analysis of the grandfather and child two. The hero of the novel is a seven-eight-year-old child abandoned by his family. Instead of giving the name to the child to help us better understand the tragedies of the generations divided from the traditions and traditions, the author asks us to draw the reader’s attention in this direction, by saying “child”, and to see the drama of these children more clearly. This child, who has no other than his grandfather, believes in the narrative of the Grandfather’s Horned Maral Mother and the White Ship narrative he has created. The novel represents the past of the faithful grandfather, who tells a narrative to his grandfather, who is strictly attached to his traditions and who is very rarely found in life, while the child is the representative of the future. The writer, who establishes a dramatic connection between both characters, brings different interpretations to the person’s own behavior. As a result, in this study, these two characters, after being thoroughly analyzed using the text-related review method, are focused on their similar and different characteristics to each other.
