Özet
Orhan Kemal, Cumhuriyet dönemi Türk edebiyatının öyküden romana, şiirden tiyatroya kadar pek çok edebi türünde, toplumcu gerçekçi çizgiyi benimseyerek eser veren üretken yazarlarından biridir. Anlattığı konular, kullandığı dil, insana, topluma, hayata bakışı çağdaşı olan modernist yazarlardan farklıdır. Sanatçı, insan ve toplum gerçekliğine dair pek çok öğeyi içinde barındıran anlatılarında, yaşadığı toplumun, özellikle alt tabakadaki insanların yaşayışına önemle yer verir, bu çevrenin küçük, sıradan, geçim derdindeki insanının yaşama serüvenini ısrarlı bir tutum ve içeriden bir bakışla anlatır. Orhan Kemal eserlerinin merkezinde yer alan izleklerin en önemlisi yoksulluktur. Toplumun sosyo – ekonomik bakımdan alt tabakasında yer alan insanların var olma, hayatta kalma mücadelelerini, iç dünyalarını, kederlerini, sevinçlerini, umutlarını, trajedilerini, sömürülmelerini, maddi ve manevi tükenişlerini, ezilişlerini, direnişlerini tüm çıplaklığıyla ve keskin bir gözlem gücüyle anlatır. Yazdığı birçok öyküyü çocuk karakterler üzerinden kurgulayan yazar, yoksulluğu iliklerine kadar hisseden, başkalarına imrenerek yaşayan küçük bedenlerin içinde bulunduğu çaresizliği, çıkmazı, çığlığı, gerçeklerle beklentilerinin çatışmasını ve çetin yaşam koşullarını olayın akışına ve karakterlerine müdahalede bulunmadan diyalog ve iç konuşmaların yardımıyla kendi gerçeklikleri içinde yansıtır. Bu çalışmada, sanatını bütünüyle insanın ve toplumun faydasına sunan Orhan Kemal’in yapıtlarının en karakteristik özelliği olan yoksulluk kavramı, Çikolata öyküsünden yola çıkılarak, bir çocuğun imrenme dürtüsüyle haysiyetini koruma isteği arasında yaşadığı gelgitler merkezinde yorumlanacaktır. Öykü boyunca yoksul bir çocuğun bu bağlamda yaşadığı ikileme tutulan ayna ve arzu dolayımında tüm kahramanların iç dünyalarında ve birbirleriyle ilişkilerinde yaşadıkları psikolojik savaş tartışılacaktır.
Adopting a socialist realistic line, Orhan Kemal is one of the productive authors who have written Works in many literary genres, from story to novel, from poetry to theatre in the Republic Era Turkish Literature. The subjects he tells, the language he uses, his view of people, society and life are different from contemporary modernist authors. In his narratives, which contain many elements pertaining human and social reality, he gives an important place to the society he lives in, especially the lives of the people in the lower class. With an insistent attitude and an insider’s view, he tells the adventure of the little and ordinary people of this class who are struggling to earn a living. Poverty is the most important one amongst the themes found in the centre of Orhan Kemal’s Works. With a keen power of observation and with all its clearness, he tells the socioeconomically lower people’s struggles for existence and survival, their inner worlds, their grieves, joys, hopes and tragedies, their material and spiritual exhaustion as well as their oppression, exploitation and resistance in face of the powerful. Fictionalizing many of his stories through child characters, the author reflects the desperation, dilemma, scream, conflict of expectations with the facts, and harsh living conditions in which the small bodies who feel the poverty in their bones and who live envying others exist within their own realities, by means of dialogs and self-talks without interfering with the flow of the event and characters. In this article, the concept of poverty, which is the most characteristic feature of Orhan Kemal's works, presenting his art purely to the benefit of human and society, will be interpreted in the centre of the child’s hovering between his impulse to envy and his dignity, based on his story named Chocolate. The mirror reflecting the dilemma that a poor child experiences in this context throughout the story and the psychological warfare that all characters experience in their inner world and in their relationships with each other in the mediation of desire will be discussed.
