The contemporary writer, Reza Barahani, has criticized the social and political structure of his society in his novel Ruzegar-e Duzaxi-ye Aghaye Ayaz. In Frankfurt school’s critical approach to art and literature the disapprobation of situation of society and the correction of internal contradictions of society is important, so we aim to study the novel due to theory of Herbert Marcuse and Theodor Adorno to show that Barahani has questioned the existing condition in society by referring to the problems of society. The most important component of the theory is that revolutionary art can criticize social realities in the best form and content because of its distance from the problems in society. The result shows us that Ruzegar-e Duzaxi-ye Aghaye Ayaz is revolutionary in both form and content.  Barahani’s novel has questioned and criticized all Iranians ruling powers up to that time and believes that the root of all the problems is despotism and silence of people in face it. Formally, this is one of the first works that has welcomed new forms and has been written in modern form.

Analysis of human social behavior and interaction with others is a fundamental issue in social psychology. Since literary works and anecdotes are reflections of interpersonal actions and reactions of the existing realities in human societies, it is possible to analyze social behaviors and interactions in different societies through the analysis of the relationships between characters and their dialogues. Using descriptive-analytical method and the desk research approach, the present study analyzed Jami’s Haft Awrang, a book replete with anecdotes and allegories. We utilized the theories proposed by social psychology theorists such as Otto Klineberg, Elliott Aronson, and Baron. The findings of the study revealed that the five components of mass communication and persuasion, conformity, attraction, aggression, and prejudice are more outstanding than other components in Jami’s Haft Awrang. Consequently, we can say that the structure of many social psychology components corresponds to the traditional concepts and frameworks of anecdotes, and the social beliefs and intellectual forms of society play an obvious role in the emergence of each component.
