- Abstract
This study is an attempt to analyze the relationship between the body and personality in some (Yaban of Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu and Sinekli Bakkal of Halide Edip Adıvar and Yeşil Gece of Reşat Nuri Güntekin) Turkish modern novels. The authors in those novels are consistent in describing the characters of the novels. The characters that had bad personalities were described in a similar manner in even different novels. The characters that had positive personality were portrayed as having good facial expressions and naive attitudes while the bad characters were portrayed as having satanic but enticing appearance, strange facial features or depreciated outfits. This common portrayal shows both perception of the novelists, the society and the intellectuals. It is thought that a comprehensive study on cultural roots of the relationship between the body and personality in Turkish modern novelists would take us to important conclusions.
