Suleyman ve Perseda’nın Trajedisi’nde, Thomas Kyd on altıncı yüzyıl Osmanlı-Avrupa ilişkileri bağlamında Sultan Süleyman’ın saltanatını resmetmeyi amaçlar. Sultan Süleyman’ın tahta çıkmasının ardından, Osmanlı devleti Belgrad, Rodos ve Buda gibi önemli noktaları fethederek sınırlarını Avrupa’ya doğru genişletir. Osmanlı’nın Batıya doğru bu ilerleyişi Osmanlılar ve Avrupalılar arasındaki kültürel etkileşimi arttırır. Daha spesifik olarak, Osmanlı’nın Akdeniz’deki varlığı Osmanlı-İngiliz ilişkilerini de harekete geçirir. Kültürlerarası etkileşimin bir sonucu olarak, İngiliz oyun yazarları sıklıkla Osmanlı şahsiyetlerini ve tarihi olaylarını oyunlarına konu eder. Özellikle, Avrupa’da “Muhteşem” olarak bilinen Sultan Süleyman’a İngiliz sahnesinde genişçe yer verilir. Fakat, bu çalışmada, Kyd’in tarihi karakter İbrahim Paşa olarak resmettiği Erastus karakterinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır, çünkü İbrahim Paşa, Sultan Süleyman saltanatının en öne çıkan isimlerinden biri olarak kabul edilir. Sultan Süleyman’ın Manisa’daki şehzadelik yıllarında hizmetine sunulan İbrahim, kısa sürede Şehzade Süleyman’ın en sevdiği adamı olur. Sultan Süleyman’ın 1520 yılında tahta çıkmasının ardından, sırasıyla hasodabaşı, içşahincilerağası, beylerbeyliği ve sadrazamlık mertebelerine yükseltilir. Bununla birlikte, daha önce hiçbir sadrazama tanınmamış ayrıcalıklarıyla dikkat çeker. Lakin ikbal ve gücün doruk noktasında iken, bir gece saraya çağrılarak idam edilir. Kyd’in oyununda, İbrahim Paşa olduğu kabul edilen Erastus karakteri de bir savaş esiri olarak Sultan Süleyman’a takdim edilir. Aralarında öyle kuvvetli bir bağ kurulur ki; Erastus da devletin en önemli mertebelerine yükseltilerek birçok ayrıcalıklara sahip olur. Fakat oyunun sonunda hainlikle suçlanarak idam edilir. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışma Thomas Kyd’in Süleyman ve Perseda’nın Trajedisi adlı oyununda, Erastus karakteri olarak resmedilen İbrahim Paşa imgesini incelemeyi amaçlar.
In The Tragedy of Soliman and Perseda, Thomas Kyd tends to portray Sultan Suleyman's reign in the context of the sixteenth century Ottoman-European relations. In the aftermath of Sultan Suleyman's succession to the throne, the Ottoman Empire expands its borders towards European territories conquering strategic holds such as Belgrade, Rhodes and Buddha. The Ottoman westward expansion increases cultural interaction between the Ottomans and the Europeans. More specifically, Ottoman presence in the Mediterranean stimulates Anglo-Ottoman relations. As a result of cultural interaction, the English playwrights frequently people their plays with Ottoman characters and historical episodes. Especially Sultan Suleyman, called 'Magnificent' in Europe, is widely depicted on the English stage. However, in this study, it is aimed to analyze Kyd's Erastus character constructed on the historical figure Ibrahim Pasha, since Ibrahim Pasha is regarded as one of the prominent figures of Sultan Suleyman's reign. Ibrahim, who is presented to the service of Suleyman in the years of his princely governorate in Manisa, becomes Suleyman's 'favorite' in a very short time. In the aftermath of Suleyman's succession to the throne in 1520, Ibrahim is conferred respectively honors of the Hassodabaşı, the Inshahincileraqa, the grand visier and the gentlemen. Besides, Ibrahim draws attention with the privileges that were never granted to the prior grand viziers. Nevertheless, at the peak of power and strength, he is summoned to the palace and executed. In Kyd's play, Erastus is also presented to the service of Suleyman as a war captive. They bound such an intimate relationship that Erastus is appointed to the highest ranks in the government and granted with many privileges. However, he is accused of treason and executed at the end of the game. In this respect, this study aims to analyze the image of Ibrahim Pasha represented as Erastus character in Kyd's The Tragedy of Soliman and Perseda.
