Read More Criticism of literary works based on archetypal criticism is one of the types of psychological criticism based on the theories of Carl Gustav Jung. He considers the products of the collective unconscious to be examples of archetypes, which appear in cases such as self, shadow, anima, animus, etc. Finds; The manifestation of the mental and psychological aspects of the characters of the play and the place of the inner unconscious in the play of Al-Harr al-Riyahi caused this article with the aim of analyzing the archetypes in this work based on Jung's theories and using the descriptive-analytical method with a new approach to this Ashurai work. to study The archetype of the self, the shadow, the feminine element (anima) and the use of different colors are among the archetypes in this play. Analyzing the play of Al-Harr al-Riyahi based on Jung's theory is one of the ways to penetrate and deeply understand the content of the play, and the knowledge of the unconscious of the characters of the play leads to the recognition of the hidden secrets and deep concepts of this type of works. Among the archetypes used in this play, we can mention the self and the shadow, and the contrast between two mental states in this play represents the contrast between these two archetypes. Har Riahi is a symbol of self-awareness and awakening (self), and Shammar bin Dhi al-Jawshan is a symbol of neglect and submission (shadow) to the self, that is, the opposition of good and evil, which has been the focus of many religions throughout the world. In this play, the archetype of color is also reflected in the characters of the play. The use of black color has been used to express certain concepts such as turbidity and hostility, which the archetype of the shadow is frequently involved with, and the color white evokes the concept of purity and innocence, which is observed in the expression of states related to the archetype of the self, and finally the color Red is an indescribable expression of eternal life and immortality, which finds its meaning in the pure blood of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him).

Read More Research "Semantics of Place in the play of “kharej-al-serb”by Mohammed Al-magout" Using a descriptive-analytic method based on Farzan Sujoudi's theory, he has studied the layered element of the place and has examined how it is related to other symbolic levels. The semantic analysis of the place in the play is important in that respect that Based on this method one can examine the explicit and implicit function of the place element in identifying the hidden talents of the text and the secondary concepts related to the cultural, political and economic values of society. In addition, by presenting a new reading of the literary work, he expressed the influence of this element in explaining the possibilities of textual creation and by examining how it relates to other levels, it has played a role in shaping dramatic discourse. The purpose of this study is to explain the most important Symptoms of place and how they are organized, Describe the function of the cues mentioned in the formation of text encryption systems such as scene, personality, conflict and time. On the other hand, the impact of this system in place of the representations is described. The purpose of this study is to answer the following questions: How has the place code been linked to other markup levels? What characteristic and structural components do these passwords have in the aforementioned play? The results of this research indicate the place is formed in the form of a cryptocurrency layer consisting of numerous surfaces and deep-level structures. This layer contributes objectively and abstractly to the creation of dramatic discourse and the representation of social cultural meanings, sometimes it manifests physically on stage, sometimes its objective function is weakened and its mental aspects is enhanced. It can be said that understanding and interpreting space as a semiotic process is possible by studying how it correlates and interacts with the branding layers in the play. There is interplay between location and other layers. On the one hand, Place explicitly and implicitly promotes surfaces such as decor, light, sound, and so on. On the other hand, those levels have a great impact on the organization and selection of Place components.
