Abstract

The love has been one of the most important themes of the world literature throughout the history. In each period, all literary movements expressed their principles through the love. The works written in the primitive periods of the history are related to the love. In Gilgamesh Epopee known as one of the most ancient works in the history, it was the love which had the hero Gilgamesh rebelled (Duralı 2007). In Iliad which is one of the historical works, Homer relates that the Trojan War occurred due to the love (Homeros 2012). In all the middle age literatures, the adventures of the chevaliers are related to the love. In the following periods, the place that the love occupies in the literature continues exactly in the same way as the preceding periods.

This fictive world based on the love and sentimentality that the romantic writers presented to their readers caused a lot of irreparable problems in the human spirit.

The fictive and imaginative world stands against the real world. The people having a spirit a little sentimental took the portion from the period where they were living and get stuck between the fictive and imaginative world created by the romantics and the real world where they were living.
