Psychological review is one of the new areas of literary criticism where a critic studies spiritual motivations and emotions and factors that affect the creation of a literary work relying on psychology fundamentals and studies the effect of environment, society and traditions on development of these currents through expressing the poet's internal affairs. Freud was the initiator and pioneer of psychological criticism in twentieth century. Freud's famous analysis was about mind structure and works, body pattern, ego and superego. Abulala Ma'arri (937-1057) and Shuride Shirazi (1857-1927) were two blind Arab and Iranian poets who lost their vision during child period but they could offer literature and works. The present study conducts comparative study on poet character psychology in Seqt Alzan of Abulala Ma'arri and Shuride Shirazi Court with analytic- descriptive approach. The results of this study suggest that poets’ blindness leads to evident disappointment within them and their poems express their desire to beauty and visit and use defense- psychological mechanisms such as compensation, revocation, displacement, humiliation in order to reduce the anxiety arisen from their blindness.
