Abstract :
The image of women in Sadegh Hedayat's short stories has gone through various stereotypes and in each story, depending on the status of women's presence in different fields, there have been different representations of them. The upcoming research has been done with the aim of finding out how the social role of women is represented in the short stories of Sadegh Hedayat and to know the hidden ideology behind these representations. This research, using a descriptive-analytical method, tries to answer the question of how women are represented in Sadegh Hedayat's short stories and what is the hidden ideology in these works. The findings indicate that the representations of women in Sadegh Hedayat's short stories have taken a step towards consolidating and stabilizing gender stereotypes and have a face in line with the traditional beliefs of the society. In most of these stories, traditional men and passive women are shown, and the colorful role of tradition and its influence in the decisions of their characters can be seen well.
