Abstract
Bu tez, Madeline Miller'ın Circe ve Jessie Burton'ın Medusa: The Girl Behind The Myth romanlarında kadınların iradesi ve güçlendirilmesi tasvirlerini inceler. Karşılaştırmalı bir analiz yoluyla, bu edebi eserlerin bireylerin kimliklerini şekillendirme konusundaki dönüşümcü gücünü nasıl vurguladığını düşündürücü bir şekilde ele alır. Ayrıca, Carl Gustav Jung ve ve Jacques Lacan'ın kavramları gibi psikolojik perspektifler aracılığıyla, her iki romanın ana karakterlerinin toplumsal beklentilerin dayattığı psikolojik kısıtlamaların üstesinden nasıl geldiklerini de araştırır.
This thesis delves into the portrayal of female agency and empowerment in the novels Circe by Madeline Miller and Medusa: The Girl Behind the Myth by Jessie Burton. Through a comparative analysis, the study offers a thought-provoking examination of how these literary works highlight individuals' transformative power in shaping their identities. It also explores through psychological perspectives, such as Carl Gustav Jung's and Jacques Lacan's concepts, how the protagonists of both novels overcome psychological constraints imposed by societal expectations.
