Abstract

Yusuf and Züleyha which is based on divine sources has been written by many different poets and writers as the form of mesnevi so it has been a source for other works and had a great importance in literature. In this study, we recognize the two different interpretations of this mesnevi, by Hamdî and Nazan Bekiroğlu, and work those different functions of mirror as a metaphor in these stories. When we evaluate that relationship with the mirror and Yusuf-Züleyha we see that the mirror has different functions in these two works. In addition, it’s clear that these differences depend on the survival of this story in many centuries and also interpretation power of writers.
