There are 🧵 on Ferit’s psychological disorder, most likely Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). I’m not a trained psychologist; I don’t find his charlacterization or plots to be consistent enough to provide a clinical perspective on his character #YalıÇapkını /1
Taking surface elements from NPD & transposing them onto Ferit or how he affects people around him is a rather irresponsible approach to highlighting the problem, IMO. Either do it with full integrity with clinical consultants on staff or write a good drama #YalıÇapkını/2
My analyses will stay away from trying to provide clinical perspectives. I focus on the actors’ interpretations of their roles & a plot coherence that’s defensible. #YalıÇapkını/3
I stopped writing about #SenÇalKapımı the day the plot used brain tumor/ cancer as their latest twist & disrespected the patient’s/family’s journey from this horrific reality. I lost my Baby brother, eventually to a brain tumor. #YalıÇapkını/4
Similarly, I’ve seen mental health issues at close quarters & I find it reckless to tackle such a difficult subject matter & not do justice to the full journey of the patient or the people he affects. Plot conveniences kill all believable aspects of the story #YalıÇapkını/5

In r’ships hurtful words/actions are said/taken. Sometimes w/ intention, or as a habit, or blinded by anger or whatever. One can forgive but one doesn’t forget. Why is it worthy for Seyran to keep fighting for this r’ship? What does love really mean to her? #YalıÇapkını/1
In earlier episodes, she made it clear if there’s no trust, there’s no love. She moved on from Yusuf solely on this principle. She still doesn’t trust Ferit w/ her heart but she loves him. Why? B/c he played savior? Made her feel special at times? Habit? #YalıÇapkını/2
He’s humiliated her so many times - I can understand why it’s difficult for her to leave the marriage - but why is her feelings shown as being love? Does she really think he’ll change? Is she another P in the making who’ll become complacent for ‘love’? #YalıÇapkını/3
FOUNDATIONS OF OUR LIVES ~ families are tightly woven fabrics & parents provide our starting point to how we form our own. We subconsciously model our life goals either as a mirror of values we admire and/or an antithesis to what we couldn’t. Ep16 🧵 shows this in #YalıÇapkını /1
As soon as Seyran started making comical motions to renege on her promise on the bet, it was evident we’ll have another episode of variable progress in the #SeyFer relationship. Their cat & mouse games are becoming tiresome even though the bickering seems cute #YalıÇapkını /2
While #SeyFer is yet to become husband & wife using the same circular references on uni., getting to making love, P or no P, Y or no Y, Mr. Y has safely moved past second base w/ Sultan v.2.0. After wasting so many eps w/ Y’s threat on #Seyfer this is lol funny #YalıÇapkını /3
LOVE OVER EGO ~ Ferit’s a problem child but the whole story hinges on how he changes w/ Seyran in his life. This ep. is a poor follow-up to the high of Seyran’s departure in 14, but there’s still perceptable growth. My 🧵 on the good, bad & the ugly in 15. #YalıÇapkını /1
Thematically, through Halis/ Hattuçe, Ferit/Seyran exchanges, we see a focus on love over ego. W/ how F is, letting S walk off while preserving his sense of self-righteousness is most expected of him. Yet, he breaks down, confronts himself & goes after her. #YalıÇapkını /2
During their heated argument, Hattuçe praises Ferit for courage Halis had lacked. He went & protected his family/marriage. I believe this boldness is what Seyran appreciates as well & chooses to merely point out that she dumped him w/o lengthy discussions on why #YalıÇapkını /3
Chip Off The Old Block ~ Halis, the benevolent dictator, is the strongest male role model for the Korhans. He holds his position of power thru passive aggressive traits & financial strength. In his anger, he has no decorum in what he says; nor does Ferit. #YalıÇapkını /1 🧵
Orhan, the spineless son, philanders outside his marriage in his bid for control in his life, as does Ferit. Ifakat isn’t his only transgression. Family must know more for F to make this comment to Taylan. In response, he sees his mother accept it all graciously. #YalıÇapkını /2
Asuman is another bride in the house who’s silent. In general, the boys club at The Korhans thrive in their misogynistic notions. For all his talk about family, love & respect, Halis proves time and again that all of it’s conditional. He withholds love at will #YalıÇapkını /3
LOVING COMPLEX MEN 🧵
Ego, narcissism, delusions are very real in many complex men. Seyran sees beyond Ferit's overt transgressions w/ P. Unyielding until he becomes available to her fully, she intuitively understands how he's trapped within his coping mechanisms #YalıÇapkını / 1
I don't see Seyran as weak for falling in love w/ Ferit. Women have a diff. resilience than men. Though she grew up in an abusive household, women have been conditioned for centuries to be subservient to men, leading to a quiet acceptance of status quo ala Esme #YalıÇapkını / 2
We see Seyran refusing to be defined by it. She's a rebel. Has a boyfriend, wants to study so she can be self-reliant. And yet, due to family dynamics, social pressures & her disappointment in spineless Y, she gets married to Ferit, a man she didn't want. #YalıÇapkını / 3
Patterns, triggers, intentions, institution of marriage & growth in relationships ~ these are the themes I explore in my analysis for this week's 🧵on Ep11 of #YalıÇapkını#SeyFer /1
Ferit's in love with Seyran and doesn’t realize it; whenever he’s spurned, he finds it easier to look at external factors rather than look inward into the great womanizer Ferit Korhan. He still feels slighted about not knowing re: Yusuf from first day of marriage. #YalıÇapkını /2
Whether rooted in narcissism or an obsessive disorder, this stokes a sense of inner injustice in him, and it serves as a trigger whenever Seyran feels distant or he finds her unreasonable. He provokes her re: Y at every turn. #YalıÇapkını /3
