The term carnival was used by the great Russian critic and philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin in the 20th century to criticize and analyze literary works. This word was presented to him as a culture; A culture that was brash and open, free and unrestrained, played jokes and games against the domination of everything powerful and holy and imposed beliefs. According to Bakhtin's theory, the components of carnival in the works of Dehkhoda, Mirzadeh Eshghi, and Nasim Shamal are grotesque realism, laughter of death, non-religiousness, relativity and the juxtaposition of opposite concepts and the promotion of polyphonic space. According to the nature of the topic and research objectives, this research is in the field of descriptive, library-documentary research, which has an applied nature, and in its example, two works by Dehkhoda, one by Mirzadeh Eshghi, and one by Nasim Shamal are examined. The sampling method is selective and the data collection method is documentary. By using a descriptive-analytical method, after introducing the carnival and its components in Persian literature, the analysis of the carnival process in the considered works is done by citing examples.
