Şeytanın Gizli Yüzü

The novel vividly critiques religious institutions of the time, but I wonder if this was based on personal experience or broader societal critique. How did the author decide to portray these elements?

The Monk's descent into vice is intense, but I kept questioning whether his motives were entirely selfish or if they reflected the oppressive environment around him. What did others think about his moral journey?

The mix of supernatural elements and sharp commentary on morality feels quite daring for its time. I'm curious about the creative process behind balancing these aspects.
