Abstract :

The play Pardeh Khaneh, is a dramatic work written by Bahram Bayzaii, in which woman plays a pivotal role.  The play talks about the life of women who have been captivated under a harsh, dictator regime.  In this work apart from analyzing some characteristic features of women in a male-dominated system, the different roles of women in such systems are highlighted.  Despite widespread attempts of male-dominated system to metamorphose the identity of women, killing their thoughts, and rob their body and soul, women in the light of consciousness, wisdom and tactfulness, could gain victory over this system and regain freedom and other rights denied them for so long.  Also this play lends itself easily to interpretations; woman in this play not only plays her real natural role in a male-dominated regime, but also borrows many tactics from Anahita, the mythical Goddess.  In this article, attempt is made to analyze and investigate the role, position, actions, and reactions of women in such system.
