vahshiye bafghi Psychoanalytical criticism sharhe parishani

In his work “sharh-e- parishani”, VahshiyeBafghi explains his amorous relationship with his beloved. According to Freud’s Unconsciousness Theory, the poet ‘unconsciously’ elicits words and sentences unwittingly from his own ‘subconscious’ or ‘Id’ which reveals both his ‘Id’ and ‘inner self’ to us. However, the poet tries to control his ‘subconscious’ completely and conceal the reality of his ‘inner self’. Based on Freud assertion, this way he sends his desires to his ‘unconscious’ and pays the price of his being civilized. Following this track, the poet sometimes justifies his slip tongues through alluding to an old and sacred story. Vahshi’s efforts i.e. the conflict between ‘consciousness’ and ‘subconsciousness’ has led to an internal conflict in his poem which continues up to the end of the poem, and the poet is not able to release himself from this conflict and cannot come to an absolute conclusion. That is why he pours out his heart to the beloved in order to soften his heart and come to terms with him.
