Western Teachings in the poems of Simin Behbahani

“West and Westoxification “are words that intellectuals  and freethinkers  have used  in their  works following the colonization and exploitation of our country  the airm of which was to clarify  peopls mindset  about this  ominous  phenomenon  of  the 20 century .The western  cultural imperialism becomes  more threatening when  the native  poets  and  writers become  their talking voice and out of the mouth  of the friends  the speech  and demands  of the enemy be heard.      By investigating  the  works of the contemporary  poets and  writers  we find that some poets  have deliberately   changed their  stylistic and ethical methods in favor of the Westerns and some  others have pursued western  patterns  unintentionally being  influenced by the  dominant social  priorities  .    Among  them  Forough  FARROkhzad  and Simin Behbahani  are among those  in whose  works  a combination  of these two methods can be found.    In this descriptive –analytic paper  we are to evaluate some of the western teachings pervading  the poems of these two poets .
