Psychological Critique of the Poems of Mahdi Akhavān Tālisi: An Exploration of Social and Political Unconscious in the Text's Inner Layers

Abstract

This article analyzes the symbols of love and suffering in Nosrat Rahmani’s poetry, aiming to elucidate his unique mystical-aesthetic style. Love and suffering, as fundamental and complex concepts, are given multilayered and profound dimensions in Rahmani’s work, embodying human and mystical experiences. In Rahmani’s poetry, these two concepts not only reflect the poet’s personal experiences but also serve as core elements that bridge classical mystical thoughts with the social and cultural issues of his time. The findings reveal that Rahmani uses symbolic and metaphorical language to portray love as a transcendent force and suffering as a path for purification and spiritual growth. By intertwining these themes with modern social realities, he has crafted a multidimensional and meaningful poetic style that invites readers to an aesthetic and spiritual experience. In the discussion and conclusion, suggestions are made for future studies in the field of contemporary mystical poetry and the analysis of mystical symbols. This research serves as a foundation for a deeper understanding of the role of mysticism and symbolism in modern Persian poetry and how social and philosophical issues are expressed within a unique aesthetic framework.
