Abstract:
Literary works and social issues are closely interrelated. By reading these works social nuance can also be examined and understood. Women and their status in different societies have always been among the most important issues throughout history. This paper aims to study the themes of sexuality and genderism in two short stories by Sadegh Hedayat, "The Woman Who Lost Her Husband" and Anton Chekhov, "The Lady with the Dog" to compare and examine the intellectual and literary relations between the two authors. In fact, through the combination of interdisciplinary Women's Studies and Literature, issues and questions are raised, which are the goals of both disciplines. For this purpose, by conducting directional content analysis we extracted, categorized, coded, and interpreted the gendered language's elements by the concepts of Paknahad Jabarouti's model and the fundamental values of feminism in both stories. Due to the abundance of gendered words in Hedayat's story, linguistically it is thoroughly gendered, and he has made good use of this tool to portray the patriarchal society of his day. However, in Chekhov's story, fewer gender-biased words are used, and as the end of the story approaches, the use of these words is reduced.

Sadegh Hedayat is one of the most important figures of the westernist intellectual current in twentieth-century Iran and one of the most famous modern Iranian novelists. Among his many works, historical writings have a significant place and, more importantly, the historical attitudes of this author who has been the motivation and motivation for writing many of his works. This research has tried to provide an analysis of the historically valuable works of this author, to recognize the historiographical understanding and historical attitudes of Hedayat and seeks to find answers to these questions: What is the place of history in Hedayat's works? And what are the most important components in their historical attitudes?; Therefore, these works are classified in three main forms of historical dramas with the theme of ancient frustration of Iranians subjugated against non-Iranian attacks, correction, and translation of Pahlavi historical texts from the Sassanid era and works with the anthropological theme. Analytical knowledge of these works, which is provided by the descriptive-analytical method and conceptual study of his literary works, shows that nationalist attitude, historical antiquity, and Zoroastrianism, and racist enmity with non-Iranian elements are the main components of historical attitudes. Make up the lead.
