Karaosmanoğlu is one of the enlightened people that shares republic idea, worked in his all novels except in “Ankara”, the critics of tradition and past with parallel to “impossible love” fiction. But, he only studied about “possible love” in his “Ankara” novel. Traditional and patriarchal concepts of Karaosmanoğlu also formed relations with political power, expressed by metaphor of “impossible love” coated with man pride and woman pudicity.
