The novelist’s method and point of view are in harmony with the historical period he wants to treat. There are almost no good characters in his novel. Almost all of the characters are pessimistic, or rather evil. Nahid Sırrı Örik draws a pessimistic picture in this novel just as he does in his other novels. The novelist drew the portrait of a typical politician of the Sultan Hamid period. So it doesn’t matter what the names of the characters are. Although a few names remain in the mind of the reader at the end of the novel, information and thoughts about the period of Sultan Hamid draw the actual attention because the novelist is focused on these ideas. The aim of Nahid Sırrı Örik is to reflect a historic era. When the novel is read, it is clear that the names are not very important. Or some of them are, some of them are changed or kept in the dark by the novelist. The names, presented in the novel, may not be in the history books. Therefore, it can be easily examined under the genre of “historical novels”. Sultan Hamid Düşerken (As Sultan Hamid Falls -Oğlak Publications) is a “period novel”.
