Mazhar Bey’in Farkındalık Yolculuğu
Mazhar Kozan’s Journey of Awareness

Summary/Abstract: It is known that content based on mythological structure can appeal to the common sense of taste of the reader and the audience. Joseph Campbell explains this situation through the Hero's Journey paradigm; explains the mythic fiction through the stages of departure, initiation and return. He explains that the narratives we read, watch or encounter are always “the same” story, within the framework of the concept of journey he proposes. This journey can be the physical transformation of the hero, as well as an initiation metaphor, which usually has psychological foundations. The movie Yol Ayrımı, written and directed by Yavuz Turgul, is a movie where we can see the initiation of the hero Campbell mentioned. In this study, the movie Yol Ayrımı will be read through the Hero's Journey paradigm, and the aspects that fit and depart from the cycle will be evaluated through the transformation of the leading role Mazhar Bey (Şener Şen) in the movie. In the research, which will be carried out using the qualitative analysis technique, the content analysis of the relevant movie will be carried out by using the content analysis method.
