The present research aims to apply Gilbert Durand's mythological criticism to Bahram Beyzai's dramatic works, including playwrights and screenplays, in order to uncover the underlying mythological pattern. The task was accomplished by utilizing the method of mythological analysis. It involved carefully studying the author's significant work, and identifying the principal sub-myth present in his works. In addition to analyzing the text and metatext (such as exploring the sub-myth present in other works by the author, studying his personal-professional life, and assessing his personal complex), a psychometric approach was employed to uncover his personal and extra-personal myth. The findings of the research indicate that the principal sub-myth in Beyzai's works revolves around several key themes: studying the past to shape the future, battling against oppression and ignorance that hinder the growth of the homeland's fertility, and being willing to sacrifice oneself if necessary to achieve this fertility. Furthermore, the priority of life over death and femininity as the source of life are significant aspects of this sub-myth. Beyzai's personal complex, described in the language of Jacques Lacan, involves a fixated state and difficulties transitioning from the imaginary to the symbolic realm. Lastly, his personal myth can be associated with the goddess Anahita.

One of the important ways to understand the meaning of a literary work is to understand its social, political and historical attitudes. Accordingly, the recognition of the theories of other fields of human sciences is important. The oriental tyrant theory of Wittfogel's and Marx's views on the concept of class in society are among the approaches that help us understand how social classes are formed. The oriental tyrant theory shows how tyrant governing the oriental, hydraulic empire-based societies, causes the formation of the classes of society. In Marxism, Marxian class theory explains the impact of private ownership and ultimately capitalism on the formation of classes in society. In this way, it is possible to study communities in literary works. Bahram Beyzai is an Iranian playwright that social classes and conflicts are well represented in his works; accordingly, in order to understand his works, the class attitudes in his works must be known. In this study, based on the Wittfogel's and Marx's class views, his plays, including Arash, Azhdahak, Karname-ye Bandar Bidakhsh, Soltan-Mar [The King Snake], Chahar sandoogh [four boxes] and Dar Hozour-e Bad [in the presence of wind], are classically examined. To this end, while using the qualitative analysis method, we will examine his works by relying on library and documentary-based studies and using the classical theories of Wittfogel and Marx. The results show that plays Arash, Azhdahak and Karname-ye Bandar Bidakhsh are associated with Whittfogel's class attitudes; while plays Chahar sandoogh [four boxes] and Dar Hozour-e Bad [in the presence of wind] are related to Marx's class approach. The play of Soltan-Mar [The King Snake] follow an intermediate class approach, which can be read by both Marx's and Wittfogel's approach.

Linda Hutcheon points to the formation of a new genre in postmodern literature which is called "historiographic metafiction". In this writing method, narrative techniques such as introspection, irony, anachronism, and intertextual references are challenged to ensure the history and feasible narrations replace dominant narrations. This writing apparently supports the thought that the existence and nature of realities and not a reality itself should be accepted, and the term "reality from other's point of view" can be used instead of “unreal”. In reading out mythical history of Iran, Bahram Beyzai in the same way attempts to paraphrase and then recreate the text to crash the strong internal foundation of the story. Beyzai believes that myths do not have a solid form. Beyzai's Three Recitations try to readout three mythohistorical stories. The second recitation is related to Arash. Although the exact historical origin of Arash the Archer is not clear, he has been presented in a two-thousand year period of myth/history of Iranian beliefs and writings. The purpose of this comparative study is to find special literary techniques of historiographic metafiction in Arash recitation. Findings obtained from analysis show that Beyzai has removed mythical aspects of this story by critical political-class point of view and by utilizing postmodern literary tricks and then has given new roles to them through a new narrative arrangement. In this study, the mythical and historical importance of Arash in pre- Islamic writings and its effect on the Islamic era literature is studied after investigating the historical identity of myth in Barthes' semiotic system and postmodern literary features from Hutcheon's point of view, and, after that, Arash's recitation is analyzed by relying on intertextual references, differences in versions of historical resources and utilizing historiographic metafiction narrative techniques.

There is an impressive variation in the subjects and the themes of Bahram Beyzai's works. To create his literary works he uses different literal techniques that are going to be explained in present study besides reviewing, analyzing and categorizing his fictional topics. 24 Beyzai's literary works including 13 screenplays, 8 plays and 3 barkhanies (loud verbal narrating) have been reviewed in present study through an analytic-descriptive method, in a way that the topics have been used by Beyzai are determined, initially, and then each of them are analyzed presenting some specific instances. Beyzai's favorite topics generally include national, social, historic and religious subjects and protesting cinema. He has displayed different spaces in his works, although he has paid more attention to social and national issues and has created numerous works in these fields. To bring these social themes up he benefits several artistic techniques such as “adaptation from ancient texts”, “allegory” and “utilization of public literary abilities”.

Studying and analyzing the ways of rewriting and recreating in Bahram Beyzai’s literary works is the main goal of this paper. He is a norm-breaker author who destroys the reader’s mental and language structures and defaults. The plays, scripts and narrations which are analyzed in this article are Azhdehaak, Arash, Ahu, Salandar, Talhak va Digaran, Pardeye neiy, Siavash Khani, Shabe hezar-o Yekom and Majlese Ghorbaniye Sennemar. At first, in this research, Beyzai’s descriptive-analytical ways are introduced, and then these ways are analyzed in Beyzai’s works. The ways are generally as follows: 1. recreating an old work on two levels: “changing the plot” and “changing the dutifulness of characters,” and 2. rewriting an old work in some ways by “adding dialogue between characters”, “suggesting cause and effect relation” and “changing the ways of narration.”

The theater as the gestural and oral representation of a fiction، possesses a verbal language and a non-verbal or scenic language. The aim of this study is to analyze the verbal language in two plays of two different cultures، at the End of game of Beckett and Afra or The day passes of Beyzaï. The first one is considered as an example of the new theater named theater of absurd، worth knowing modern plays and the authors who implicate and deny the traditional elements of the western theater. The play of Beyzaï can be also considered as a modern play as far as she borrows it essential characteristics. Nevertheless، on the other side، it bases well on the traditional cultural foundations. This study tries to analyze similarities and differences between these two plays through the verbal aspects and to see how the play of Beyzaï can heighten as the example of the absurd theater.
