Abstract :

Ancient critique is a model of mythological critique that emphasizes Jung's theories of collective unconsciousness and primordial forms. According to Jung, archetypes are those eternal and various forms that exist potentially in the depths of the collective unconscious of human beings and are dormant. These ancient and mythical forms can be manifested in art and literature. Romance poetry is one of the areas that can serve as the backdrop for the emergence of archetypes. Since the literature of every nation is rooted in its culture and beliefs and the study of ancient stories is important not only from the literary, artistic or entertainment point of view, but also from the familiarity with the individual and social thoughts and values of the people of a nation. The present study attempts to analyze the status of the transcendent beloved in the abovementioned poem by explaining the symbols and archetypes of the story of the Wameq and Ozra and their role in the transcendence of the lover.so, it tries to reveal if in romantic story, the union of archetype models can show the beloved role in transcendence of the lover. It is observed that the unity and connection of the archetypes in this poem is in the direction of the growth and recognition and achieving human perfection for the lover.
