A STUDY ABOUT SÜTÇÜ İMAM, A THEATRE WORK WRITTEN BY CAHİT ZARİFOĞLU
Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 45
Abstract
The drama called “Sütçü İmam” by Cahit Zarifoğlu reflects the occupation of Maraş first by the English and then the French and the battle against them under the leadership of Sütçü İmam. The events in the drama are chronologically ordered. Although the character “Sütçü İmam” shows up at the very last part of the play, it is felt that his personality traits seem to have been determined in previous sections. Sütçü İmam represents independence spirit rather than a human being. The idea of presenting such a story arc in İslamic Geography in 1920s has an aim of inspiring the national consciousness. Zarifoğlu puts forward Sütçü İmam as a role model to Afghani considering the occupation of Afghanistan by Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1980S. The present play is purposefully written as a good representative of target message to be given.
