"The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon" is one of the most exemplary novels in the history of English literature in terms of formal innovation, satire, the use of a dishonest first-person narrator, and the frank criticism of the class society and especially the aristocracy. The novel, which in many ways has undeniable similarities to "Tristram Shandy", another masterpiece of English literature, seems to open another window to that society a century later, with the same humor but much more bitter and biting. "William Thackeray", who was a prolific writer despite his short life, with a strange boldness like the revolutionaries of the 19th century in Europe, satirized the deceitful life and successive immorality of the people, and in his greatest novel, "Barry Lyndon", using life and He narrates the circumstances of the character whose name the novel is named after, placing himself in the position of the narrator, a liar, immoral and of course full of stupidity, who does everything to reach and stay in an aristocratic and revelry life. Thackery's great work in Barry Lyndon is to put the reader in a position where he reads the words of the lying narrator and laughs at the same time, shakes his head with regret and even suddenly finds himself facing a tragic situation. This novel is one of those great works that can be seen as an example of a mirror placed in front of a society that has not looked at itself in detail for a long time and is unaware of its own ugliness and excesses and can also be seen as an example of a modern human being. He looked at it today and after this; A person who is far away has forgotten what human ethics are and what it means to be honorable! Perhaps it is not without reason that "Stanley Kubrick" in the 70s of the 20th century, in this classic novel full of jokes and sarcasm, put a first-class and extremely modern and bitter adaptation on the cinema screen.
