David Yalom considers solitude as the first principle of anxiety and sufferings of human existence. His principle mostly deals with existential solitude and isolation. Most of the fictional characters of Bilghees Soleimani experience tribulations due to loneliness and desperation and are in a state of quandary. Present research by employing descriptive-analytical method seeks to evaluate the aspects of solitude in the fictional works of Bilghees Soleimani from David Yalom’s perspective. On the basis of the finding of the present research, it becomes known that most of the fictional characters of Bilghees So leimani-especially women- despite their encounter with the social shortcomings, seek to find and create their individual identity but they do not succeed in their efforts which ultimately results in their self annihilation and suicide. Meanwhile family plays fundamental role in the loneliness of the fictional characters of Bilqees Soleimani and their pursuit of education in a foreign land further draws them to isolation. Identity and acceptance plays an effective role in the life of a person and his relations with the others. According to research findings, the anxiety in loneliness arises from an individual's severely shattered relationship with the surrounding world.

The present article examines the behavioural traits of the characters in the novel 'Autumn Is the Final Season’ by Naseem Marashi (born in 1363) which is based on the theory of traits propounded by Ramond Bernard Cattell (1905-1998). The main characters of the novel are three women named Leila, Roja and Shabana who have behavioural traits emanating from migration, family, emotions and works. One of the views related to personality can be called the theory of Ramond Bernard Cattell. This theory tries to describe a person’s traits that are caused by his behavioral personality. His formal traits are obvious and superficial and are of short duration. According to Raymond Cattell deep traits are embedded and more prominent in a person. Ramond Cattell enumerates sixteen factors which form the traits of a character. This article is a descriptive analysis of them and answers to the fundamental question that which type of character in the novel ‘Autumn Is the Final Season’ fits into the theory of Cattell. According to the result of my research which was conducted on Ramond Cattell’s theory which shows that the character in the novel happens to be more anxious and disturbed.
