When it is considered that one role of literature is to reflect the ideologies of a society and another is to help a society establish itself, it is no wonder that East-West issues have served as the major theme among so many Turkish writers, Since the onset of "Westernization", in fact, East-West issue have become one of the most significant matters for the hole country. It has never been simple for this country, bordered by two totally distinct cultures, to find a particularly "Turkish" way to reconcile its separate culture. Many comparative studies have been undertaken, and have become the main theme of literature, specially in the novels.
In fact that Orhan Pamuk, a famous novelist, wrote constantly about the East and West reflects the reality of Turkey. The reason Pamuk in particular is receiving so much attention from critics these days, however, is that, unlike other writes, he doesn't dwell on the traditional formula that "Westernization" means "irnmor-dydiralization", or the conflict between materialistic and spiritual values. Instead, he has moved on to suggest alternatives that reflect modem times. He deals with Eastern and Western issues in depth based on the history of Turkey and lives of turkish people. At the same time, he attempts various experiments in style and form to satisfy the intellectual curiosity of the readers.
In his novel "The White Castle", Pamuk wants to depict what blind believers of Westernization were like, which was the mainstream of the time, through Hoca, a Turkish master who doesn't trust anything about the East and criticizes it It should be observed that to an Italian servant, who represent the West, The East is not as Hoca views it. It shouldn't be ignored that The Parnuk is suggesting how to live with harmony and reconcile the two different culture, by describing the life of the servant, who lived happily with the Turkish people, who Hoca contemptuously called idiots.
It can be said that the writers is trying to send the message that balance should be kept when understanding the essence of the cultures, as mentioned earlier about the elements that symbolize the East and the West. That is, Pamuk wants to emphasize the fact that the Western servant held positive views about the East and thought Hoca was overwhelmed with prejudices, while Hoca was cynical about the East and thought the Orientals were stupid and ignorant. Also, the writer wanted to say the great and overwhelming power of the West definitely has its limitation, by concluding that the great and overwhelming "weapons", which symbolize the West were not effective in the war.
At in all, the true meaning of the novel can be condensed into the unity of two cultures, in that the superiority of one culture is negated.
According to Sultan, one character in the novel, "Every life resembles another". It can't be said that any person's life from a different world is more special and meaningful. In other words, everyone has the potential to lead his/her own happy life in another culture. Pamuk, seems to be tacitly implying that The East and the West, though the history of the world, must or are destined to be closely interrelated and interact, and that the East could be the West and vice virsa. Pamuk once said that it doesn't matter if he's Oriental or European. It might be that the East and the West are ultimately something similar or alike, rather than opposite and contra-dictory, considering "the other self" motive, which is the most significant one this novel. What's important is that we are all human-beings, who try to understand each other, before we are Eastern or Western.
In conclusion, "The White Castle" is a novel that tries to seek and understand the identity of the East and the West through two characters from two different cultures, based on history, and at the same time an introspective novel on who we are, what we want, and how we can be happy. Pamuk's claim that "The East shouldn't be the East, and the West shouldn't be the West" is the ultimate motive of the novel. As Sultan remarks "Probably one's real ruin results from trying to imitate the other, thinking it is superior."
