Özet:

 The living conditions and culture of a society are reflected in literary works derived from that particular society both in characters and in plot. Literary theory has brought a systematicity in reading and analyzing literary works on the assumption that literary works are holders of ideology, far from being innocent meaning structures, and that we can capture the ideological perspective from the deep meaning in those texts. Various schools of literary criticism have been developed under the umbrealla term of literary theory in order to perceive the ideology in literary works. Marxist literary criticism is among those schools of literary theory that takes Karl Marxs view that the economic situation is an infrastructure while literature is a superstructure depending on this infrastructure. Marxist literary criticism takes its origins from Karl Marxs historical materialism, which posits that human history is shaped by economic dynamics. Therefore, there should be an ideology of class conflict in literary works originating from the economic situation of a particular society. In Marxist literary criticism, characters in the capitalist and working classes are in a class conflict, and the working class in particular cannot be free actors. Analyzing the power relations between the oppressor capitalist and the oppressed worker in a literary text will allow the signification of the ideology in the text. In this study, the novel titled Yolpalas Cinayeti by Halide Edib Adıvar is analyzed through Marxist literary criticism. However, it is important to note that generally known for her works about the War of Independence, Halide Edib Adıvar has a political passion for democracy and freedom, and she considers communism as a great threat to freedom and democracy. The reason for the analysis of Marxist signs related to socialism and communism can on no account be tied to the authors tendency to use or avoid these signs deliberately in her works, but rather the characters and events she creates in reflecting the social situation and popular culture in Istanbul of the early 1900s easily lend themselves to finding out the power relations between the oppressor and the oppressed, an already existing social schema in any society. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the exploitation of labor in society first begins in the family, and the capitalist manipulates the labor-time equation of the worker in order to maintain their surplus value.

 Toplumların yaşam şartları ve kültürü, bu toplum hakkındaki veya bu toplumdan kökenini almış yazınsal eserlere hem karakter hem olay kurgusu bakımından yansımaktadır. Yazınsal eserlerin masum anlam yapılarından oluşmaktan çok öte bir ideoloji taşıyıcısı olduğunu ve derin anlamından ideolojik perspektifi yakalayabileceğimiz önermesiyle edebiyat kuramı, bu eserlerin okunma ve çözümlenme yöntemlerine bir sistem getirmiştir. Yazınsal eserlerdeki ideolojiyi alımlamak için edebiyat kuramı çatısında çeşitli yazınsal eleştiri ekolleri geliştirilmiştir. Marksist yazın eleştirisi, Karl Marxın ekonomik durumu bir alt yapı, yazını ise bu alt yapıdan beslenen bir üst yapı olarak ele alan ve tarihsel materyalizm görüşünden kökenini alarak insan tarihinin ekonomik dinamiklerle şekillendiği, yazınsal eserlerde de ekonomik durumdan kaynaklı bir sınıf çatışması ideolojisi olduğunu benimseyen bir edebiyat kuramı ekolüdür. Marksist yazın eleştirisinde, kapitalist ve işçi sınıflara tabi olan karakterler bir sınıf çatışması içindedir ve özellikle işçi sınıf özgür aktörler olamaz. Ezen kapitalist-ezilen işçi taraflar arasındaki güç ilişkilerinin çözümlenmesi, metindeki ideolojinin alımlanmasını sağlayabilecektir. Bu çalışmada, genellikle Milli Mücadele dönemini anlatan eserleriyle bilinen, siyasi olarak demokrasi ve özgürlük tutkusuna sahip olan, komünizmi özgürlük ve demokrasinin büyük bir tehditi olarak gören Halide Edib Adıvarın Yolpalas Cinayeti başlıklı romanı Marksist yazın eleştirisi yoluyla çözümlenmiştir. Sosyalizm ve komünizm ile bağlantılı olan Marksist göstergelerin Halide Edib Adıvar romanında çözümlenmesinin nedeni, yazarın bu göstergeleri kullanma veya kullanmama eğiliminden bağımsız bir şekilde, 1900lerin başında İstanbuldaki toplumsal durumu ve popüler kültürü yansıtmada kurguladığı karakterlerin ve olayların, toplumda halihazırda bulunan ezen-ezilen güç ilişkilerini ortaya çıkarabilme potansyelidir. Yapılan çözümlemede, toplumdaki emek sömürüsünün önce ailede başladığı, kapitalistin artı değerini sürdürebilmek için işçinin emek-zaman denklemini manipüle ettiği bulunmuştur.
