Abstract
The expression of different aspects of the character and the events surrounding it in long novels has caused this kind of literature to be a good carrier for psychoanalytic critiques. The exploration of the main character's defense styles is based on Freud's psychoanalytic point of view, which styles are most widely used among the characters, and what effect their repeated use has on the process of processing the characters in the story. This article describes and analyzes the styles and their use with integrated methods in the novel Kalidar . This study shows that the use of styles among the characters of the novel is significant and high, and in some characters, such as Khan Mohammad, the use of these styles is repeated, continuous and as a part of his lifestyle. In some others, such as Golmohammad, these mechanisms have been observed and manifested more in the face of stressful events.
