Abstract :
At anytime and anywhere in the world, intellectuals have sought to discover their eternity and their ideals, society and the ideal world. Hence, they have paid their attention to works of art and literature, which have been the main focus of their intellectual concerns and inspirations. One of the previous and current attention of man and his long-standing desire was to achieve utopia and ideal that encompasses all the characters of his creation.Given the components of the story, such as thematic, staging, and characterization, the purpose of this article is to provide an analytical approach to Huxley's selected work "Donyaye Shegeft Angiz" and Harper Lee's work "Koshtane Morghe Mina", to answer the question of whether whether there is a commonality between these two works according to the research topic or not. Also, this article clearly demonstrates the fact that literature and its outstanding techniques cover a wide range of arts and sciences in reflecting and predicting the future of human beings in the world
