This article examines the analysis of the psychological typology of Jafar's character in the novel Qalb al-Lil based on Karen Horne's theory. Hornay as a revisionist specialist in Freudian psychoanalysis; It has either completed or revised the concepts of Freud's theory. Hornay believes that educational and cultural factors play a decisive role in the formation of a person's personality, not biological and congenital factors, and the motivating force of people is the need for security, not sexual desire and aggression. He emphasizes the society and especially the family environment and the way parents interact with the person more than any other factor. The research method is descriptive-analytical. The results of the research indicate that the main hero of the story of Qalb al-Lil, looking at the most important events in Jafar's life, we see that his life has always been accompanied by ups and downs, and many of these events are rooted in the nervous structure of Jafar's personality.
