Abstract

Abstract:

One of the new methods of psychoanalytic criticism of literary texts is based on Jacques Lacan's opinions, which uses the science of linguistics and philosophy The present study aims to analyze the novel " Mard-e Kaboud" by "Payam Azizi" in a descriptive-analytical way due to the coherence and narration of the fundamental lack in the main character of the novel based on Lacan's opinions.The research results show that there are many elements of Lacan's opinions in the mentioned novel; But the main axis of the novel is formed around the two concepts of "father's name" and "psychological blockages". And the absence of names of all the characters in the novel shows the heavy shadow of reality, symbolic fathers are present in this novel with both positive and negative effects on the subject. Also, the phallus can be considered the most important factor in the continuation of the symbolic system in this novel and finally, separation, which is a proof of the wisdom and desire of the subject, takes place in the novel The Mard-e Kaboud.
