Abstract :

Jung, considers the subconscious mind of man to be the female and male cross-poles of Anima and Animus. Anima's archetype is half feminine in the male psyche and Animus is half masculine in the female psyche. These archetypes are influenced by the relationships and behaviors of the family, especially the parents, in the presence of each individual, and can change his personality under the circumstances of his community and life. The oneness and homogeneity of these archetypes will cause human development, and the domination of each of these cross-poles in the individual will make a series of traits and characters that can be studied from a psychological perspective. These images are unconsciously depicted in the works of artists. GhaemMaghami,as a contemporary lady poet, has also unconsciously expressed these archetypes in his poems in various ways (positively and negatively). the frequency of positive aspect of animus is higher than that of negative side In her poems,74.74% of findings presents positive aspects of animus and25.26% of findings indicates negative aspects of animus. The initial formation of these archetypes is positive when she is single, but after marriage and quitting her child because of the divorce , the negative presentations begin to realize.
