Mythological Time in the Poems of Forough Farrokhzad and Gada al-Saman

Forough Farrokhzad and Ghada al-Saman are two contemporary female poets. Unlike the past literary traditions of their land, they have presented their own poetic imagery in the form of new poems, but they have not completely departed from the tradition of Eastern thoughts. Understanding the time of poem is the same as understanding of their past ancestors. Forough and Ghada al-Saman, such as in their past ancestors believe in the circular time. In their views, time starts from the origin and ends in the time. This end means another beginning. In a world where time is circular, concepts are formed that are consistent and harmonious with all human children, and Forough and Ghada are not exceptional. In this research, based on the American School of Comparative Literature, the authors have come to the basic analytical method of the conclusion that Forough Farrokhzad and al-Saman understand of time that is common and identical. This has led to diverging notions of circular understanding of time in these two poems. The concepts such as expectation, delay, recursive past, repetition, and futurism, which are among the most important concepts of mythological time are analyzed.
