Özet:

The most important factor in establishing the genre in which the story may be classified is the manner in which the narrative genres are built. This essential element serves as the foundation for the structure of the Short-Short-Story style, which is defined by the number of words utilized. Even though short-short-stories limit the amount of language used, the need for an intense, powerful, and symbolic/metaphoric meaning converts words into illuminating phrases. In this regard, the meaning it possesses on its own is just as significant as the meaning connection formed by the usage of words together in Short-Short-Story. In the story titled “Otel”, which has the basic short-short-story features in terms of the number of words, the author deals with the dilemma and return-to-self of the individual who experiences rootlessness-induced depression in the context of human-environment relationship. In this regard, the “Otel”, which represents the major difficulty of the individual who is unable to gain a foothold in life, is a symbolic location. In fact, the world in which people physically take their place transforms into an existential space with the individual's consciousness, choices, and obligations. The hotel, which stands out for its quality of imposing non-attachment and destroying a sense of belonging, takes on an appearance that represents the main character’s homelessness. In this regard, the key part of the “Otel” story is the space, which explains the individual's existential state and perceptual flow. While the author narrates the story character, who is uneasy in the hotel and has an inner fight with himself/herself, he truly reflects the problems that would be caused by lost, destroyed, or forgotten identities. Recognizing this issue, the storyteller's search for ways to exist in life as himself/herself represents the possibility of rebirth.
