Abstract:
In the present article, attempts are made to trace the changed manifestations of archetype of motherland in the poems of Hāfez. After disintegration of personality of this powerful female archetype, in the beginning it continues to live as goddess, then it is transferred to unconscious, and finally it appears in the mind and language of man through art. The present article tries to answer these questions: may it be said that Hāfez belongs to that group of genius poets the historical and geographical gaps could not prevent from appearing archetypes in his poems? Furthermore, regarding to the mythical backgrounds of matriarchy in Iran, how does the archetype of motherland has continued to live in the collective unconscious of Iranians? We believe that the poems of Hāfez are the context in which the concept of motherland manifests and finds expression.
