Examining the Contrast Between Two Novels:

Among the sociologists of literature, Lucien Goldman was able to introduce a new method called developmental structuralism using the learnings of the Lukacs school. Ali Mohammad Afghani paints the image of the society of his time in the novels Husband of Aho Khanum and Shadkaman Dara Qarasu. In the society depicted by Afghani, illiteracy and lack of culture, belief in magic, false beliefs and dry religious prejudices cast a shadow on people's lives. The patriarchy ruling the society and the miserable condition of women are visible, the icreasing growth of capitalism changes the values of the society and makes deceit, hypocrisy and profiteering rule over human relations. The corruption of the administrative bodies, the increasing prevalence of poverty and the widening of the class gap, the transformation of values and the hateful role of money, which has influence at all levels of society, including all its members. Among the two works of the novel, the novel Husband of Aho Khanum was more aligned with Goldman's theory than Shadkaman Dara Qarasu.
