AZRA: THE IDEAL CHARACTER BETWEEN TRADITIONALISM AND MODERNITY AZRA: GELENEKSELL KLE MODERNL K ARASINDA DEAL B R KARAKTER

In character analysis, generally “Negative Alafranga” types have been reviewed. “Positive Alafranga” types have been neglected. In this context in our study, Azra who is reflected as a positive character in Halit Ziya s “Nesli Ahir” novel, has been examined. Azra, in addition to strong oriental reflexes, she is a character that internalized all the western cultural elements. It has been designed against the degenerated alafranga girls who change theirs ranks by reading a book. “Orientalism” and “Westernalism” as a main theme, has been penetrated into the work and has formated hero s literate discourse. With his personel features not chaotic, but has prefered a linear harmony with his neighborhood. br> br> Karakter zümlemelerinde genelde olumsuz alafranga tipler incelene gelmi tir.
