نقد کهن‌الگویی شخصیّت مردان از مجموعه داستان‌های «یکی بود یکی نبود» از محمّدعلی جمال‌زاده با تکیه بر نظریه‌های جین شینودا بولن. (Persian)

The Archetypal Criticism of Men's Character from Jamalzadeh's Yeki Boud Yeki Naboud using Jean Shinoda Bolen’s Theories. (English)

So far, various theories have been proposed in various scientific branches on the category of personality, among which are the opinions of Jean Shinoda Bolen. Taking an archetypal approach and considering Greek myths, he has represented new dimensions of each character based on their attributes. Bolen's comments have a favorable impact in providing a new reading of fictional texts and the characters present in them. Accordingly relying on library sources, taking a descriptive-analytical method, and considering Jean Shinoda Bolen’s archetypal views, the personalities of Yeki Boud Yeki Naboud (once upon a time) by Mohammad Ali Jamalzadeh were examined. The archetypal characteristics of the characters are considered with regard to their actions and psychological functioning, which can reveal the hidden layers of their characteristics. The results of showed that the influence of the archetypes of Hades, Zeus, Hephaestus, Dionysus and Hermes have been in the inner and outer world of characters, and the result of this influence has been sometimes positive and sometimes negative. This shows Jamalzadeh’s belief in the grayness of human personality and removing the absolutism (good or bad) in dealing with others. Moreover, it was found that Sheikh Jafar has the most complex personality in the story of the political man, who shows signs of the archetypes of Zeus (desire for power), Hermes (trickster and messenger), Hephaestus (inner dissatisfaction, weakness in political skills, etc.). These are evident in his actions, words and thoughts. Other characters are created and processed quite simply and predictably. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
