Mevlut is exhibited as a sort of parаgon of averageness. He gets an essential training, going to secondary school before dropping out to work close to his dad. Like the greater part of the Turkish populace, he is a Muslim, however, he mirrors his country's legitimate secularism by not being especially ardent or perceptive. He is straightforward, tireless and not too bad. He has dubious dreams that one day he may end up plainly rich. On a few events, he is depicted as 'honest'. Throughout the novel, which traverses over four decades starting in the late-1960s, Mevlut endeаvours to accommodate his family, trudging his way through a progression of humble occupations. He offers yoghurt, rice dishes and frozen yoghurt in the city; he opеns a brief shop with his brother by …show more content…
Late one night when he is out selling bozа, Mevlut is drawn nearer by two men, a father and child, who scare him before ransacking him at knifepoint. The juxtaposition of these opening scenes builds up the novel's laced subjects and the parameters of Mevlut's emblematic relationship to his city and by expansion his country. They are two pivotal turning points of dissatisfaction, one in which his purity brings about him being tricked, and the other in which his felt liking with the boulevards of Istanbul encounters the city's dim side. What is huge about these two minutes is that neither outcomes in any real emergency of certainty or huge modification in Mevlut's character, despite the fact that he quickly considers giving up bozа-offering in the wake of his robbing. He does the respectable thing in the wake of eloping with Rayiha and proceeds with the marriage. All the more imperatively, the marriage succeeds. They come to love each other. A standout amongst the most touching angles of 'A Strangeness in My Mind' is its delineation of the commonly steady relationship that creates between them. He is somebody who tolerates and continues; he makes the best of
Keeping this in mind, it comes as no surprise that Raskolnikov would feel utterly abhorred when Svidrigaïlov refers to them as “birds of a feather”(p.340; Part 4, Chapter 1). While Svidrigaïlov is rather keen of their shared similarities, such as their status as murderers, Raskolnikov willingly fails to realize these associations. Raskolnikov’s better side objects to the hedonistic behavior of Svidrigaïlov, decrying him as a man of the most abject nature. The dramatic irony lies in the fact that Raskolnikov desires to be an “extraordinary” man, the very epitome of Svidrigaïlov, a man he holds in no high regard. Despite their superficial variances and dissidences, Raskolnikov had slowly rendered himself into a facsimile of the man he detested, Svidrigaïlov. Although both men, whether knowingly or unknowingly, desire to transcend above the ordinary masses, it is only a matter of time before self-realization indicates the folly of their ways.

His mother and sister clasp him in their arms, yet a “sudden, unbearable thought” prevents him from even “lifting his arms to embrace them (186).” As his family affectionately cries and hugs him, he is so selfishly concerned with his own past actions, he fails to return even the slightest bit of their caring and endearment.
