Leylifer - Aziz (Can Verel) and Meryem (Camila Duarte Çakir)

Leylifer - Aziz and Meryem - Summary from last week.Shakespeare is the world’s pre-eminent dramatist. His researchers claim that in his dramas the interesting plot is important, but the characters are more important - in repeated situations (plots), people (characters) react differently. How does this relate to Leylifer? In most Turkish dramas, when love is rejected, the characters react from the positions of ego and wounded pride. In Leylifer things are different. Aziz and Meryem are characters who think first of others, then of themselves. Meryem rejects love because she thinks about her family and the health of Alim Bey depends on her. Aziz leaves not because his pride is hurt, but because he understands the situation Meryem is in and the difficulties his love is causing her. Such a decision by both chambers is very difficult - to give up personal happiness for the benefit of others. But it shows how brave the two are. Let us not forget that art is always different from life. If in real life it is better to stand up for our personal aspirations, ART is called to show us another way of thinking. Art and characters in dramas must always be higher than the ordinary, the mundane, and the pursuits of the ego. So, difficult decisions are made on a higher spiritual level in Leylifer. Because art should inspire us, not bring us down. Aziz and Meryem loved each other since their first meeting but sometimes the mind difficult admits what the heart known for a long time ✌️
