Parvin E'tesami who was known as "a feminine who versified alike a male" among wo/men literary; a poet whose works mostly composed on morality. Since Parvin's poems were full of words and expressions that reflected the femininity aspects associated with woman poem style could not be considered as masculine poems. In other hand lack of words such as amour, sweetheart, kiss…that could exhibit a young female behavior demonstrated the behavioral and emotional differences between her and other women poets. It was so obvious that Parvin possessed strong feminine emotions but she had avoided to show her feelings because of abiding by traditional formalities. However it can be concluded that her verse did not show sexuality. And what her poems showed was an alone woman that suppressed and hided her feelings. Manuscript profile

After Rostam death she retried to satisfy such needs by replacing  Sohrab instead of Rostam. But with the death of Sohrab not only did  not escape from her situation, but due to her failure to pass the stages of grief ultimately would faced early death. Gordafarid also seemed to be, according to Freud, her Electra complex caused incomplete formation of the superego, as a result of the use of simulation defense mechanism and women revenge against men trying to protest and overcome against male supremacy and to prove woman superioty. More importantly, she by fleeing the  male chauvinist look against women tried to escape from their femininity, even though the price was the negation of the basic feminine features. However, at the end of a return to his true character (using the female characteristics) was more successful in battle. Manuscript profile
