초록

Doris Lessing sympathizes with contemporary human conditions, cultural situations and prevalent thoughts of her age and tries to describe them in her works. In “The Small Personal Voice”, Lessing asserts that a writer is “an architect of the soul”(7) who creates the new vision in the age of disruption of culture and society. She is concerned about the future society with a point of view of a prophet and tries to show the way of possible solution to many problems happening in the world. In Martha Quest(1952), Martha sets off in quest of identity away from the unchanging reality of the white colony. The period from her awakening in adolescence to her first marriage is covered here. From the closed Anglo-colonial society she takes a hard journey toward her ‘ideal city’ where there is ‘no hatred or violence’. Therefore, this study shows the improvement of human relationships through the change of internal consciousness of human beings and disrupts selfishness, indifference and disbelief which are problematic in modern society.

Abstract

Doris Lessing sympathizes with contemporary human conditions, cultural situations and prevalent thoughts of her age and tries to describe them in her works. In “The Small Personal Voice”, Lessing asserts that a writer is “an architect of the soul”(7) who creates the new vision in the age of disruption of culture and society. She is concerned about the future society with a point of view of a prophet and tries to show the way of possible solution to many problems happening in the world. In Martha Quest(1952), Martha sets off in quest of identity away from the unchanging reality of the white colony. The period from her awakening in adolescence to her first marriage is covered here. From the closed Anglo-colonial society she takes a hard journey toward her ‘ideal city’ where there is ‘no hatred or violence’. Therefore, this study shows the improvement of human relationships through the change of internal consciousness of human beings and disrupts selfishness, indifference and disbelief which are problematic in modern society.
