Abstract: (4 Views)
Background: Both Jungian archetypes and Joseph Campbell’s theory of the “Hero’s Journey” contribute to a deeper understanding of the fundamental structures of the human mind and narratives. These two frameworks share common elements such as personal transformation, facing challenges, and achieving self-actualization. However, previous research has predominantly focused on classical works and global myths, with limited attention to contemporary literature, especially Persian novels. Analyzing the novel Abbas Dast-Tala from this perspective offers an opportunity to explore the similarities and differences between these two psychological and narrative frameworks within a distinct cultural context. This study can enhance our understanding of how modern narratives interact with archetypal structures and demonstrate how mythological patterns are reinterpreted in contemporary cultures.
Aims: The present study aimed to provide a psychological analysis of Jungian archetypes in comparison with Joseph Campbell’s theory of the hero’s journey pattern in the novel Abbas Dast-Tala.
Methods: This study was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method and was based on qualitative content analysis. The data were collected through library research and the direct examination of the narratives, and were analyzed based on the theoretical foundations of Jung’s analytical psychology.
Results: The findings of the research are the adaptation of most of the archetypal stages of the hero's journey in the novel "Abbas Dast Tala", which indicates the presence of a dynamic and evolving character in the novel, who grows and changes spiritually and spiritually by being on the front. The novel Abbas Dast-Tala effectively demonstrates how Jungian archetypes and Campbell's Hero's Journey intertwine within a modern framework. This combination not only enhances the narrative but also facilitates a deep exploration of the protagonist's inner challenges and growth journey, highlighting the significant role these archetypal patterns play in contemporary literature.
Conclusion: The results of the research show that the fate of the character "Abbas Dast Tala" in the novel, due to the events that happen in his life, has changed from an ordinary person to an evolved person in terms of ethics and religion, and the steps he has taken in the path of evolution and growth, with the archetypal stages of the hero's journey can be explored and adapted.
