At first glance, the series "The Magnificent Century" seems to be a love story set against the backdrop of the history of the Ottoman Empire, during the reign of Sultan Suleiman. However, the series also addresses a number of issues that are relevant to modern reality, including social deprivation and the lack of a place for women in society.

Social deprivation

This concept refers to the limitation or absence of a person's ability to fully interact with society. As a result of social deprivation, a person may experience psychological, emotional, or economic difficulties.

All the girls in the Sultan's harem were forcibly separated from their homeland, family, and friends at a very young age. Khurram, Nurbanu, Kösem, and thousands of other selected women experienced severe psychological trauma, also because they knew that they would never return home again.

The role of women in a patriarchal society

Despite the several privileges granted to women in the Ottoman Empire, they were less respected than men. The main threat to women in such a society was the lack of personal freedom. Men made decisions for women and never gave them the choice. First, parents decided the fate of their daughters, and then this right passed to men.

Women during the Ottoman era could not even dream of living an independent life. They were condemned to be passive and always submissive. The fate of women who resisted this ended tragically. In order to survive in this society, women simply learned not to swim against the current.

It was difficult for women to rise to the occasion in such a society. Even when the state was ruled by women, the status of girls in the country remained unchanged.

This is a vivid example of how the jealousy and hatred of the women in the harem for each other can lead to great disaster. While Khurram tried to be a worthy wife and Muslim mother for the Sultan, her mother-in-law, Valida Sultan, did everything in her power to destroy Khurram. Instead of finding a common language with her older daughter-in-law, she preferred to fight with her. The refusal of Valida Sultan, who was previously known for her dignity and wisdom, to sit at the same table with Khurram resembled the whims of a teenage girl. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
