Short story is a specific form of narration which can play the role of society corrector in critical societies. Sādeq Hedāyat and Tāmer both show different aspects of their social problems. They magnify issues such as illogical family atmospheres, patriarchy, weak human relationships and consequences of modernity and modernism without having the basis of their acceptance in society and insecure social situation for women. Each of the Hedāyat and Tāmer by own specific methods show these conflicts through stories and they try to criticize social rules. In their stories the gloomy and frightful atmospheres are reflections of the sick society surrounding them. Beside all their style differences in opening stories and narration from of social issues still they have a lot in common in the concepts they choose for their stories. They both struggle to revise the sick society which creates suffering for their people. Accordingly the difference in attitude of the both author about woman, does not preclude having a similar attitude around the crisis that has caught woman in their fiction community. This study is finished with American comparative literature.
