Classical definition of perversion refers to some ethical concepts such as "normal" and "tight", and indicates a derivation from the normal. By focusing on the behaviour, this definition tends to neglect the psychic realm. The aim of this article is to approach perversion from a psychoanalytical perspective. In this article, I would like to rely on the Lacanian psychoanalyst Sergio Benvenuto's definition of perversion, which underlines the position of the "other" in the pervert action. Benvenuto claims that when dealing with the pervert action, the question should be if and how the other exists in what is 'being done'. So the focus is not what the subject does, or with whom, or with what. This article researches into one of the most intriguing characters of Turkish literature: Zebercet, the gloomy manager of Motherland's Hotel (Anayurt Oteli) and tries to understand his inner world through the help of drive theory. Zebercet, a sedate, patient young man living in a pre-determined world, shows no signal of any desire for anything. One day a beautiful woman comes up, awakens the libido, and things become to change in his pre-determined world. This reminds us the Lacanian concept of "decentring desire". His desire for the woman decentres Zebercet's psyche. From now on the reader witnesses the struggle between the death drive (Thenatos) and the libido (Eros). During the plot the indistinct pervert character of Zebercet crystallizes as the libido (Eros) loses power to the death drive. It is argued here that sometimes pervert action can be considered as a defence against death drive.
