"I found a permanent culprit for these kinds of words and actions that I didn't really know whether I wanted or not, but which I claimed I didn't want if they turned out to be against me: I called this the devil inside me - I blamed all my actions on him that I was afraid to defend, and instead of spitting in my own face - an oppressed person who suffered injustice, the twist of chance. "I thought my soul was worthy of compassion and care, but what a devil, what a devil? This is a fabrication of our pride and stupidity." In this novel, Sabahattin Ali shows the pressure of the social agenda on personalities and the "trappedness" of the weak person. A sharp look at the darkness of those who pretend to be enlightened - the "demon within man".
