        The purpose of the present research was to study the role of color and its symbols in expressing feminine sentiments and emotions of Forough by using the new views of color psychology. The use of colors and feminine symbols were the means for Forough to communicate with her audience, expressing her feminine thoughts, speaking of a woman’s concerns and aspirations, and ultimately, defending her virtue as a woman. Regarding this element in her sentimental and feminine poetry contributed to a better understanding of her and, to a large degree, a decent connection of the audience with her feminine thoughts and feelings. This research was based on descriptive – analytical study, and according to the results obtained from the current study, red was at the highest frequency as the most vibrant color with a perfectly positive effect; after that black was considered as the heaviest color, which is the expression of the most feminine feelings in Forough’s poetry. Pink with the lowest frequency was used as an utterly feminine color; and other colors including white, green, silver, blue and gold, were roughly the same, reflecting the spirits, regrets, wishes, and chastity of this female poet.

        This study focuses on feminine style which is noticed by researchers regarding the increasing number of female writers in the contemporary era. The names of Robin Lakoff and Sarah Mills are distinguished among the theorists of this field, due to the presentation of practical models. Lakoff enumerates some features of feminine language emphasizing the linguistic differences between men and women, and Mills considers three levels of vocabulary, sentences and discourse in the linguistic analysis of feminine works. The methodology of the current research is discourse analysis based on the integration of Lakoff and Mills' theories on four levels: 1. lexical 2. syntactic 3. rhetorical 4. Discourse. The purpose of the study is to find the characteristics of feminine style in The Bride written by Faridah Farjam who was the first Iranian female playwriter. The findings of the research indicate that the author used feminine linguistics in vocabulary, syntax, and rhetoric at the discourse level, to challenge male culture and assert women’s rights, and develop their personality and awareness. Also, the influence of the author’s gender on the tone of the text is another component for confirming the theoretical models. Manuscript profile
