Village - Internal.

Topics of Conversation.

Group of women outside kram's house, all close neighbours - (see p. 73) - discussed murder of i(Mustafa Eraslan): Nesli was wailing and mourning - Ikram said -
well, it's happened, and he's been dead 4 days now - you can't keep on mourning like this. As far as I cld. gather, attitude expressed in converstaion was
what a bad thing, why shld. anyone kill Mustafa who was a good man, his death has left his wife alone - erkeksiz {maleless}, these village quarrels are bad
thing. Women arguing rights and wrongs of case.

k<feud killing, women disapprove>
