چکیده مقاله :
The twentieth century has been shaped by a multitude of events that have been analyzed and documented by scholars across several disciplines. Both Ernest Hemingway, a renowned novelist, and Gholamhossein Saedi, a writer and novelist who explores similar subjects and is influenced by similar modes of thought, have addressed the concept of existence in their body of work. This study examines many indicators that indicate the presence of themes related to identity and existence in the main works of the two authors. This paper employs a research methodology rooted in content analysis to examine how two writers, originating from distinct geographical regions and employing unique genre characteristics, skillfully address the theme of existence through the careful selection of setting, language, and characterization within the framework of social realism, a literary movement associated with enlightenment. The findings of this study, which utilized a content analysis approach, demonstrate how these two authors, despite residing in disparate geographical regions, have employed the novel as a literary genre to effectively convey social realism through deliberate choices in spatial representation, language usage, and character development, thereby contributing to the advancement of literature.
