Unrequited Love in the Selected Novels of Orhan Pamuk

Certainly, Love is one of the most unmistakable natural sentiments of the individual, so the psychologists have attempted to characterize the word 'love' in various manners, for instance,Freud, in his book, (Civilization and Contents)illuminates the sentiment of love according to mental perspective. As he would like to think, a limit between the 'object' and'ego' is degraded, so he stated that "Against to all proof of his feelings, a person, who is in love utters that 'you' and 'I' are one and begins carrying on as if it was a reality" (Freud, 13). 'Self' of the individual, who falls in love is totally degraded into 'oneself' of the other, so Love assumes an important role in bliss or despondency in human life, in which, the fruitful love makes life upbeat and on the contrary, its disappointment changes life into a hopeless wreck, so unfortunately, Unrequited Love is a one imbalance in which you may love someone with all your heart, but you don’t receive these feelings in return. In other words, it is love that isn’t reciprocated. For example, you may love someone deeply, but this person simply doesn’t love you back. This paper will discuss the characters’ suffering as a result of the one-sided love and explain how they behaved during the events of the love stories, as well as delineate the tragic ending of their unrequited love, furthermore, it will give some examples from some of Pamuk’s novels.


Introduction
On June 7, 1952, in Istanbul, the Turkish Nobel Prized novelist and screenwriter, Orhan Pamuk was born to a wealthy family. He studied at Robert College Secondary School, then he went to Istanbul Technical University to study Engineering, but after three years he gave up.
However, to become a fulltime writer, he studied and graduated from the Faculty of Journalism at the University of Istanbul in 1976. From 22 to 30 years of his age, he lived with his mother, writing his first novel (Cevdet Bey and His Sons) and endeavoring to find a publisher.
Unfortunately, at the beginning of his young age, Orhan Pamuk fell in love with a girl, he called (the Black Rose). For some time, she frequently was attending to his mother's flat to draw a picture for her, but her parents moved her to Switzerland to study at school there. After some time, she sent him a letter as he stated, "In her letter, that I read in a pudding shop when I was smoking a cigarette, she disclosed to me that she was content with her new school. However, she missed me and Istanbul a lot. I wrote nine letters to her, seven of which I put into envelopes and two of them, I posted. I never got a reply" (Pamuk,Istanbul: Memories and the City,425).
Accordingly, Pamuk was affected by that situation, and it becomes a painful experience for him with love, which in turn reflects his mood in writing emotional and love stories.
Clearly, the female sweethearts in Pamuk's novels seem to be more balanced and reasonable than the male darlings. However, his men are energetic, committed lovers, whereas, SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH e-ISSN: 2582-3574 p-ISSN: 2582-4406 VOL. 8, ISSUE 10, OCTOBER 2020 www.ijellh.com 3 the women are more practical and rational. They experience passionate feelings for insightful and think all the more essential. Pamuk mentioned to the two kinds of love: erotic and Platonic.
His female lovers appear to be platonic in their relationships, while his male sweethearts appear to be more disposed toward the erotic love. The female sweet-hearts never appear to be in a sexual sort of affection. They are mature sweethearts, who can survive their entire lives without enjoying sexual delights. Once in a while, Pamuk's female characters seriously scrutinize their male partner for their lascivious sexual disposition towards the contrary sex.

One-sided Love in Snow
Obviously, Snow, the love story may look like a distraction, a concession to pleasures of a vulgar sort, even (as Pamuk has suggested) a bit of casual camouflage designed to protect the novel from censorship. The love story and especially its female object of desire are depicted in only the most desultory and conventional way. Ka is entranced by Ipek's dazzling beauty; that cliché (repeated later by Orhan) is pretty much all there is to his desire (Robbins,5 In a sense, Ka is finding out here is that Ipek is more honest about her emotions than he is--she knows, as he doesn't, that people do not actually fall in love with each other so quickly. But the idea that Ipek will come to love Ka in the future, in Germany, cannot offset the fact that now, in Kars, even without having seen Blue in months, she still insists that he loves her and not her sister. "'The truth is, Blue doesn't really love Kadife, he loves me!'" (Pamuk,Snow,392).
"'You only want me because you're trying to forget him!' said Ka. Looking into her face, he saw Simultaneously, love is additionally demonstrated to be risky, especially when it gets fanatical and prompts lost control of oneself. From the beginning of the novel, Esther remarks that Shekure is so profoundly enamored that "obviously, she has gone crazy." Both Black and Hasan become fond of Shekure, in the interim, they badlybehave against each other. Hasan endeavors to assault Shekure, and Black demands that she performs oral sex on him, so these conducts annoy Shekure, who considers that act as a sinful behavior, and drives her to reject that, "if you genuinely loved me, enthusiastically and fanatically… you'd attempt to control yourself like a refined man". Shekure's utilization of the words "energetically and fanatically" spot a light on the issue of sentimental love; despite the fact that it should prompt regard for one's darling and for God, truly it can prompt sexual appetite that are viewed as fiendish and immoral.
One-sided Love in The New Life Simply,The New Life represents love and its disappointment in the life of the hero, Osman.

Love and the delicate heart are indistinguishable, Unfortunately, Osman, the hero does everything is conceivable, to win Janan's heart, but useless, so his brain is in anguish when he realizes his adored Janan fond of with another person and makes him in doubt about his own personality and desires to hold her darling's character, so he stated that "Love… I also might want to take on various identity when I understood tears were gushing from Janan's eyes" (Pamuk,The New Life,113).
Profoundly, Osman feels that Janan makes her love in his spirit itself, soat the time, when she vanishes from his sight for a long time, he goes through serious sufferings in her non attendance, yet he believes love to be a sweet torture.
