Read More Symbolic interaction theory studies the activities of persons in dealing with social phenomena. One of the main themes of this theory is the study of personality development on the basis of individual actions. The founders of this theory believed that behavioral analysis should be based on "social action" because the personality of the individual or himself is formed in communication with society. Based on this theory, the present article divided the personality of women, their dynamics, and gender roles in fictional literature. To reach this purpose, the four components of self-concept, behavioral Characteristics, connection patterns, and Position in the hierarchy of power were used to analyze the main characters in two novels. The research adopted the method of qualitative content analysis with a comparative approach to the societies of Iran and Kuwait and the units of analysis are two novels by Shahrnoush Parsipoor (The Dog and the Long Winter) and Fatima Yousef Al-Ali (Faces in the crowd). To this end, the feminist characters in these stories are divided into three character groups: traditional, transitional, and modern women to analyze women's actions on the basis of the roles they play in society. The results of the study show that the two main characters in these two novels belong to the group of modern women according to the mentioned components. They refuse to accept sexual suitability in society and seek to redefine sexuality and all concepts related to it. These fictional and inspiring characters also see themselves as capable women who use their abilities to achieve the ideal of equality and the realization of their rights. They have characteristics such as: non-functional, tradition-breaking, sexually active, brave, etc., and follow a set of female and male communication patterns. According to this study, women who do not have purely feminine characteristics or follow communication patterns and consider themselves to be personal are in the group of modern women

Read More Rashad Abushawar, as a Palestinian novelist who was cruel to the pain of the Palestinians and suffered under the yoke of the Israeli occupation, spared no effort in the struggle and struggle against the other, the occupying Israeli enemy. In it, the other who occupied the land of the Palestinian homeland and sought to destroy, ruin, demolish and remove the identity of the ego and draw the angles of this violent bloody conflict between them and the funeral scenes that occurred as a result of this dialectical relationship. On the other hand, this ego did not see a solution to defend its identity and land, no matter what and wherever it was, so it seeks to know the other, but by knowing itself first and then removing the sins from the other and his nature. These fanatics are manifested in Palestinian personalities who have been deprived of all their basic rights and are struggling to get out of the yoke of the occupying Other as they exert their efforts for freedom and independence and are martyred in this way, while the other is begging for all ways such as falsifying history, reversing the facts and creating propaganda that have no basis in money. To prove his rights and claims. This article seeks to study the dialectic of the ego and the other in Rashad Abushawar’s novel The al-Ushshaq, according to the descriptive-analytical approach, and it is a relationship of conflict and clash that the recipient realizes from reading the title, which is the “al-Ushshaq” of the land of Palestine who played the role of the ego in struggle against the other who deprived them of their rights. This title refers directly to The occurrence of an inevitable clash between the ego and the other, and some results indicate that the novelist painted a negative image of the Israeli other and all those who supported and sided with him in the occupation of the Palestinian homeland. Desirable for the Palestinian ego cooperating with the occupying other.
