Abstract :

Psychological analysis of character is one of the basic approaches of contemporary literary criticism. Great psychoanalysts such as Freud, Jung and Adler have studied personality psychologically. Karen Horne's opinions and opinions are based on Freud's ideas and expands these concepts with a little difference that Freud's ideas have in the biological field. In this research, using the descriptive and analytical method, we have compared the poems of Simin Behbahani and Ghade Alsman based on Karen Horne's theory of personality types. This research aims to answer the question that the personality of the two poets in question can be adapted to which personality type of Karen Horne's psychoanalysis according to their poems.The results of the research show that due to the high frequency of the love theme in the poems of these two poets and boredom with society, the personality types of these two poets are loving and solitary. Both poets, in the field of theme, are disgusted by the social stereotypes of the time and the romantic parameters that lead women to monopoly and subjugation, and they consider the surrounding world as unqualified to give authenticity to women's experiences and feelings, so according to Horne's opinions, these atrocities, Oppression and pressure have caused them to take refuge inside, isolation and idealism, and that is why love is considered one of the ideals raised in the poems of two poets.
