Özet:

 This paper attempts at a reading of Coriolanus, one of the four Roman plays by Shakespeare, within a theoretical framework drawn upon Freudian psychoanalysis, focused on the concept of unheimliche doppelganger. This reading mainly reflects on the protagonist Coriolanus, the relationship he has with the rest of the gentry, pleabians, his family and his opponent causing the tragic downfall of this great warrior, what triggered it and his personal reaction to it. This study discusses how Coriolanus self-perception as a noble, proud soldier within his world bears uncanny elements when he is presented a new world being a consul. The fact that he identifies himself with his rival Aufidius the Volscian soldier as his mirrored self-image creates a double uncanniness. By drawing on both classical and contemporary perspectives, the argument which is put forward is elaborated on with the insight into self-dividedness, projection and reflection of ones self; the double self as both the source and the product of the unfamiliar in the familiar.

 Bu çalışma, Shakespearein dört Roma oyunundan biri olan Coriolanus ı Freudyen psikanalizinden yararlanılarak ve özellikle tekinsiz ikincil benlik temasına odaklanılarak yapılandırılan bir teorik çerçeve içerisinde okumayı amaçlar. Bu okuma, esasen ana karakter Coriolanusı, bu büyük savaşçının çöküşüne sebep olan, onu tetikleyen şeyleri ve buna kendisinin tepkisini, alt ve üst tabakayla, ailesiyle ve rakibiyle olan ilişkisini ele alır. Coriolanusun kendi dünyası içerisinde soylu, mağrur bir asker olarak özalgısının, kendisine bir elçi olduğu yeni bir dünya sunulduğunda nasıl tekinsiz unsurlar taşıdığını tartışır. Kendisini rakibi Volscili asker Aufidius ile yansıtılmış öz imajı olarak tanımlaması eş bir tekinsizlik doğurmaktadır. Hem klasik hem de çağdaş bakış açıları kullanılarak ortaya atılan bu iddia, bölünmüş benlik, benliğin yansıması ve izdüşüm -alışılmışın içinde alışılmamışın hem kaynağı hem de sonucu olarak ortaya çıkan çift benlik - gibi kavramlarla hazırlanmıştır.
