Abstract

This piece, in which Samed Vurğun operated psychological elements in real life and took pains to write, is a mirror to psychologies and personalities of himself, Mullah Veli Vidadi, Eldar, representative of villagers, and Mullah Penah Vagif, vizier of İbrahim Khan of Qarabağ. Sigmund Freud, a doctor from Australia, sees artist as a neurotic creature. This is closely related with creating a character, writing, and speaking actions. According to Freud, an artist is a person who speaks on behalf of all people. Samed Vurğun sets the scene on the psychological state of people he went about. In his play Vagif, Vurğun showed life more real, let the houris and fairies down and used heroes with flesh and bone. Beautiesof Vagif are not fairies and houris; however, they are creatures that can touch, see, hear, love, feel pain, in short, affected by life in real manner. Some scenes of the play, Vagif, are analyzed comperatively within play’s context and real life according to “Historical” and “Psychoanalytical” approaches. This study will articulate these points.
