The adventure of Hasret will be analyzed within the framework of truth, imaginary area and symbolic area in Lacan’s model of subjectivity. In this respect, Hasret’s progress from symbolic to the truth will be examined. Symbolic area and the truth will be defined as neighbour. The effort of Hasret being in symbolic area in order to teach the truth will be narrated. It will be declared that Hasret is near to the truth while she is living in the symbolic field. It will be said that although Hasret is exposed to discourse constructed by the “Autre”, she aims to get rid of the lack and symbolic area and aspire to reach the truth.
