Analysis of poetry expositions, identification and comparison of application methods on expositions with each other, are the first aspect of the studies. The second aspect is applicability of modern methods of text interpretation to the classical Turkish literature texts and text interpretation studies in this direction.

In poet-poem-reader trilogy, after a theoretical evaluation about writing and interpretation of the poem, a ghazal of Necati Bey is analyzed and interpreted. Review was held in three stages. Reading of the text, fictionalizing the story and interpretation of the text. Reading stage, has been done to leave the reader with the text alone, a crude reading. To feel the changes on level of comprehension of the reader, who will meet again at a later stage the text, description or comments have not been added. The second stage is building of the story that provides content integrity of the text. In this fiction, essay of couplet array has been presented.
