In the Archetypal critique of postmodern poetry, we can see clear signs of the Collective unconscious mind. Among these signs is the archetype of the anti-hero. The archetype of the anti-hero has appeared in postmodern poetry in different forms, especially "Anima", "Animus" and "Self" so boldly and diversely that sometimes it makes the reader feel doubtful and confused in distinguishing the hero from the anti-hero. The current research, using the descriptive-analytical method, has tried to determine the position and function of the archetype of the anti-hero in the course of postmodern poetic narration. The results of this study showed that postmodern poets are praised as long as the archetype of the anti-hero protests against the social conditions, and he is praised among the heroes, but when this role causes damage to one's own archetype or other positive archetypes, it is no longer supported.

In Shahnameh, there are superheroes who are separated from the human context of the narratives and are placed on higher levels, but their common features and selfishness connect them to each other and to the body of the narrative. In this research, the structures of Gilbert Doran's imagination system have been used to identify Shahnameh superheroes. The structure of the imagination of the age is the "fundamental" binaries, opposite poles, and "contradictory semantic" pairs, and meaning arises from the reciprocal relationship of these pairs. Distinctions create semantic meanings, and poles are defined by their opposites. In Shahnameh, understanding the concept of "self" and "other" causes a struggle to take possession of the "object of value" in which the concept of enemy and superhero is formed. According to this system, Divan in one body, Dahhak, and Afrasiab (who represented the Turan army against Iran from being a crown prince in the time of Nozer until he was killed) are considered enemies of Iranians and in this framework, Fereydon, Rostam, and Key Khosrow, who have the main role and duty in confronting and defeating the opposite pole and Ahura's victory over Ahriman, are considered superheroes. All of Iran's enemies, by virtue of their characteristics, are essentially symbolic of drought and barrenness, and superheroes are solar figures who must bring rain and fertility back to Iran after victory.

Archetypal criticism is one of the interdisciplinary approaches in contemporary literary criticism.  Carl Jung sees literary heritage and common experiences in different cultures in the collective unconscious and believes the reason for the cultural similarities among nations lies in the common archetypes shared.  The purpose of this type of criticism is the analysis and evaluation of literary works and ancient narratives should the work lend itself to this genre of criticism.  The main purpose of metamorphosis is the presentation of symbols, and signs which intend to reveal the psychological states of man and seeks to explain and reveal ambiguous mysteries of the existence in mythologies via the archetypes.  The purpose of this article is to analyze and evaluate all types of metamorphosis of monsters who are dragons in origin in Garshasp’s adventures.  Among the antiheros with whom Garshasp, archetypal hero in Avesta fights only dragon like viragos metamorphosed as fairies or appalling monsters were investigated from the Jungian critical perspective employing library approach and descriptive analytic method.  The results obtained show that these demonic creatures despite their differences in appearance are in fact regarded as the metamorphosis of the dragon within the hero, or the hero’s anima.

The anti-hero or "antagonist" (الالبطل (is one of the rejected characters of history who is confronted mythical heroes with dramatic contradictions due to a kind of abnormal behavior. Contemporary Arab poets, in order to express contemporary experiences and impose personal and collective concerns on the audience, alongside identifying with heroes, have also called for anti-heroes, which inspires dissatisfaction with the non-implementation of popular ideas and ideals, despair, incompetence of the Arab rulers, betrayals and so on. Among the anti-heroes, Judas Iscariot who is a symbol of betrayal and hypocrisy in history, is an archetype and a reflection of the instability and incompetence of the Arab rulers in governing societies. Abdul Aziz Maqaleh, a contemporary Yemeni poet, is one of the poets who, in the context of his poetry, used this despised religious figure to convey personal and impersonal experiences, and with the help of which he tried to make his audiences aware of the inconsistencies of the times. The study tried to critique and analyze the following two poems "The Age of Yehuza" and "Yehuza" using an analytical and descriptive-analytical approach to reveal the reasons of using it as an anti-hero in a poetic text. It is inferred that Judas is an equivalent for a political enemy who has taken over the rule of the contemporary world, and the author tries to make his audience aware of the dominance of betrayal and hypocrisy in the contemporary world by composing that text.

Myths and stories have kept their link with history and religion as a branch of popular literature and have provided an appropriate field for recreation of historical and religious figures. This essay has studied the four-volume collection of Iranian stories utilizing a descriptive-analytical approach and examined the historical-religious characters appearing in these stories. The results of the research show that these characters have appeared in the thirty nine stories from the collection of Iranian stories by Enjavi Shirazi - as the statistical population of this research. The historical and religious characters and celebrities studies are as follows in order of frequency: Solomon, Imam Ali, Iblis(Devil), Alexander, Khidr, Prophet Muhammad, Abbas and Zakaria. The Prophets, the Imams and Awlia - o - Allah (lovers and supporters of the Lord) are the most remarkable characters supporting the heroes of the story. Often, these characters appear in opposition to the two forces of "the good and the evil", and they help the hero in the challenges that the anti-hero has created for him. Among these, Solomon because of the relationship between him and the supernatural and surreal creatures who constantly have a rich presence in the stories, and objects associated with him, they are the most abundant forces supporting the heroes of the stories. Stories such as Zechariah's testimony or Alexander's personality in adventures like seeking life water have been recreated in accordance with popular beliefs.

 The body is a social construction that is it is an outcome of social and cultural interplay.  Therefore, human gestures are realities related to society and culture, and not merely biological, naturally born entity imposing itself to the individuals.  Moreover regarding the notion of body there are multitude of elements such as social and cultural considerations to account for.  Perception is also a bodily phenomenon not emanating from the mind since human beings as embodied agents influence our perception of the world.  Therefore, structure of perception is the same as the structure of body and the world acts as a field for our awareness and actions.  From this perspective reading of epic texts which focuses on the human body and has roots in the collective, and national ideals, and cultural reflections gain importance.  The purpose of this article is to examine and analyze bodily actions in Kushnameh whose protagonist is a hideous despotic antihero. The final results are corresponded with the symbological data.
