As a reflection of the collective unconscious and human psychological struggles, folk tales are one of the best sources of psychoanalytical analysis, especially the theories of children's gender. By projecting many of their conflicts on the characters of the story, the audience of these fairy tales - especially children - can externalize their aggressive impulses and achieve a kind of psychological and emotional integration while symbolically experiencing some of their repressed emotions. Sigmund Freud, as the founder of psychoanalysis, has repeatedly emphasized the importance of classical folk literature and has built many important concepts of this knowledge on myths and legends. One of the key concepts in the psychoanalytic theory is the Oedipus complex, which is, according to Freud, the responsibility of every child who steps into the arena of existence to overcome it. On the other hand, the Kurdish language has one of the richest popular literatures due to its dialect diversity and pristine geography. In this article, the author analyses the legend of Shirzad Shirpanj from Kurdish folk literature from a psychoanalytical perspective and demonstrates the extent to which this story conforms to the theory of the Oedipus complex and what solutions it offers to overcome this fateful path. In this story, the Oedipal conflict started in the dominance of the son and father competition, and finally, with the acceptance of the father's position and the decline of the Oedipal impulses, psychological maturity and inner peace emerge.

This study, is a semantic attempt to find out if there is a significant difference in the linguistic representation of Iranian and British war literature in the Iran-Iraq war (known as The Imposed War (of Iraq against Iran)) and World War II. Authors chose these two wars for two reasons: 1. In both cases, the war was defensive for both countries, and 2. both wars lasted for almost the same period: The Imposed War lasted for 8 years, and World War II lasted for 6 years. Given the aforementioned similarities, we seek to compare the linguistic representation of ideologies that had governed in Iranian and English societies (i.e. Islamic ideology vs. liberal democracy and the monarchy). In this study, we ask if there is a significant difference in the linguistic representation of these two wars. We seek to 1. Describe the linguistic iconization of war based on the source domains of metaphors, and 2. Describe the ideological similarities and differences of war using linguistic representations. The views of Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler, and Carl Gustav Jung have been used in the psychoanalytic analysis of these novels.
