Human, the main material of literature, appears in front of the reader with a real identity or a visual appearance in classical texts. While conveying his philosophy, the poet makes the reader feel his side by placing these identities on two separate fronts. The identities, which are positioned on the opposite side in the narrative and evaluated on the axis of a pessimistic view, are deemed worthy of material or spiritual distance from the ideal or loved one. In some examples, it is observed that the tradition is followed without taking any sides. Sometimes, the poet can go beyond this tradition and interpret the personalities with his experiences. In this study, religious and ethnic classes, who are among the personalities in question, were identified in the Divan of Mustafa Âli, the 16th century poet, and evaluated together with the witness couplets.
