Abstract

Based on Jung's ideas, Joseph Campbell, by analyzing the stories of the world, proposed a single and broad pattern called "the hero's journey" for all stories and even human lives. Campbell considered three stages for the archetype of the hero's journey: departure, separation and return. By exploring the internal mechanism of these two novels, it becomes clear that the main characters of these novels, like mythological heroes, undertake a journey into the inner world and mind. In the novel sakeh i keh saliman yaft, the departure stage, the novel kakeh shesh par ve dokhtar shah parian, the initiation stage is more powerful. Considering the archetypal system that dominates these two novels by Rahnavard Zaryab, it can be seen that the main and secondary heroes of his narratives, in their executive system, Of the three stages of invitation, initiation, and return, Campbell's hero's journey model can be interpreted with the approach of elimination and displacement. Each of the narratives, during the journey and encounter with the stages intended by Campbell, offers an internal interpretation - the journey of the six-winged crow - and sometimes an external one sakeh i keh saliman yaft.
