In the nature of humankind there is always lack of knowledge. People want to learn something that they cannot explain. This lack of knowledge, in ancient times, forced them to create mythology,1 as they needed to know what is happening around the world, like earthquakes or floods. From these days till today people told so many stories and in these stories Dragons found themselves a significant place. According to people, styles, shapes, behaviors, abilities, etc. of dragons waried by people and their traditions from Europe to Asia. In this paper I will talk about one of the European dragons, is Smaug in one of the books of J. R. R. Tolkien, The Hobbit. So I will talk in my paper, according to J. R. R. Tolkien by looking the behaviors, shape and curse how he created the dragon Smaug.

This paper aims to show, that there is a need for society to change their ideologies or even their governmental system because, for example, especially for the society of Venice, although it is a trade country that is ruled by money, the fight is always for the power through religion. In fact, they are using religion not just for the power but for their own benefits to get rid of ‘others’. In regards to that, what I’m going to explain with this paper is, with the ideas of Karl Marx and other philosophers who are dealing with Marxism, there can be a solution for societies, which are in need for some changes, so that they can understand the real problem.

ABSTRACT
The world as a whole is already full of corruptions, especially when looking at the human rights and equality. From birth till death, people teach generations what is right and what is wrong, but never ask what's really right or wrong, without depending on standardizations. What is meant here is, that when a child is born, his family teaches the child rights and wrongs and let him live with the principles he learns for the rest of his life. Then, the society even decides what his or her religion is going to be. These standardizations or stereotypes appear as 'archetypes' from the time of Plato to this century. While these archetypes can change from time to time, they also become the representatives of human beings that shows the characterizations of every single people with their types. This is exactly what Lord of the Flies tries to show; relationships of the children who seem innocent, but act according to what they've learned from their societies. A group of children land on an island by force because of a plane crash and they find a conch. They use it to build a parliament and they try to maintain equality while giving all of them the right to talk, choose and live freely which is exactly the same that they've learned from their parents and the world they live in. The problem is, after sometime they forget about this equality and start to fight for power.

Although the word ‘society’ should mean protection, tradition, moral values and respect to each other, with the changing world, technology, science or the effect of new generations, it usually means for many people pressure, assimilation, isolation and not showing respect to different ones. Centuries can change traditions or even moral values because people’s point of view against everything evolves with their survival instincts; but this can be possible only if people are educated. On the other hand, uneducated minds create pressure against the ones who do not fit in their ‘own moral values or traditions’, their beauty standards, etc. and they tend to criticize because they always think they are superior than those do not fit in. But because of that, humanity separates into two ways; the ones who get the knowledge, learn the truth and create their own path and become overman; and the ones who cannot rescue themselves from society’s standards and gives up to live a stressful, desperate life and become mad.
In the enlightenment of Nietzsche’s Superhuman theory and Foucault’s description of the madness of society, this thesis aims to find out whether a man decides to become mad while trying to prove himself to the society or it is the society that drives the man into madness while trying to turn him into a Superhuman. It aims to analyze with deep analysis of some characters such as Brandon from Rope by Alfred Hitchcock, Claudius from Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Saleem Sinai from Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie and John Tanner from Man and Superman by George Bernard Shaw whether they have similar characterizations and attitudes although they are from different timeline and culture.

The issue of human rights, equality and freedom has begun when people started with the idea of having property. It goes back far to cavemen who were the first ones with the title owner of something; cave, farms, animals etc. But at that time they had no idea what being an owner means. Even at this moment; the era we are living in, all people are so crazy about owning something. It was okay until we went mad and thought that we could own other people and we created superiority, slavery, subalternity. As Indian Philosopher Gayatri Spivak says in

Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ile ticaret yapmaya hak kazanmış olan devletlerin Akdeniz’de yaşadıkları en önemli sorunlarından birinin korsan saldırıları olduğu görünür. Osmanlı denizciliğine dair kaynaklar incelendiğinde Garp Ocakları ve Ülgün korsanlarının ticari gemilere sıklıkla saldırdıkları izlenmektedir. Söz konusu korsanlık sorunu, Osmanlı Devleti-Sicilyateyn Krallığı arasındaki ticari ilişkilerde de belirgindir. Bu bağlamda iki ülke arasında imzalanan 1740 tarihli ticaret antlaşmasına korsan saldırıları karşısında Sicilyateyn tüccarlarının korunması ve zararlarının tazmin edilmesine dair hükümler konulmuştur. Ayrıca Sicilyateyn Krallığı Trablusgarp Ocağı ile 1741 yılında ayrı bir antlaşma imzalayarak uluslararası sularda tüccarlarının mal ve can güvenliğini korumak için önleyici bir hamlede bulunmuştur. Bu çalışma, Akdeniz’de Osmanlı Devleti ile Sicilyateyn Krallığı arasında korsanlık tehdidi altındaki ticari ilişkilerin durumunu Osmanlı arşiv belgeleri ışığında değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
