Abstract
The "falling into a jar" motif along with its other changed forms is rooted in the rituals of death and rebirth festivals in the ancient Iran. Although this ceremony has vanished, its images exist in Persian poetry and folktales. In this paper the researchers have explored a number of stories, proverbs and figures of speech that contain this ceremony. The result of this research shows that literature preserves these customs and festivals. In addition, there is a strong connection between this ceremony and literary images, and sometimes the structure or themes have been changed by the poet’s feelings or social conditions.

Abstract
One of the oldest and most pleasant and efficient kinds of poetry, which have attracted the attention of scholars and lovers of poetry since the beginning of the Persian poetry until now, is elegy. Khaghani Shervani is one of the poets who wrote after this genre and composed many memorable and beautiful elegies. The poet, who like many other people experienced happy and sad events and occasions, wrote many elegies in which he commemorates and remembers many of his dear ones. These poems are marked by their emotional language and poetic expression of feelings, which is simple and unaffected but at the same time expresses his emotion and passion in the best possible way. In this article elegy is discussed in the collected poems of Khaghani

Abstract
One of the basic characteristics of satire is its humour. When dealing with supreme subjects like death, Satire sometimes movesaway from its basic characteristics such as comicality, candor and accessibility and becomes less relieving and more bitter and sad. When satire deals with death, which is always mysterious and tragic for humans, it fails to provide any absolute relief;instead it brings about short term forgetfulness in the audience through diverting their attention, and givesthem a temporary sense ofbliss. This article identifies satire of death as a complex genre and analyzes its different aspects in samplepoems by Shams Langaroudi. We will see that Shams uses different methods of satire of death to deal with this phenomenon and its related concepts such as thanatophobia. The article reveals that satire of death in poems of Shams reflects human's fear and apprehension about certainty of death and emphasizes the physical and bodily dimension of human being in the natural world.

Abstract
One of the most important aspects of analyzing literary texts is the consideration of the reflection of the author's thoughts, wishes, griefs and regrets as defense mechanisms. In reviewing the reflection of an author's unconscious in his or her work, psychoanalytic or psychological criticism is often used, in which the critic tries to reveal the influence of the author's mental constraints on hidden layers of the work or to open textual ambiguities using psychoanalytical or psychological principles. The authors of this article have tried to investigate in a short story collection, Be Ki Salaam Konam?, one of Simin Daneshvar’s most important psychological anxieties, that is, "infertility pain"; a pain which though is not traced in Jalal al-Ahmad's independent works, it is present in Daneshvar's stories and appears in different ways. Be Ki Salaam Konam? has become a feminine narrative of Jalal’s Sangi Bar Goori. The subject of most of the stories of the former is "infertility", which is presented using child, adopted child, and grandson in the form of free or affiliated motifs. Daneshvar uses unconscious symbols such as the old women to suggest infertility. The reactions of characters in the stories to infertility can be described through defense mechanisms such as displacement, sublimation and projection. Nonetheless, throughout the discussion, when necessary, the paper will benefit from approaches such as archetypal criticism as well.

Abstract
Death is the most definite end that can happen at any moment and at any point in life, a horrible truth that humans respond to with horror of death. Many psychotherapists, including Yalom, consider it to be the main source of anxiety, which greatly affects a person’s behavior and psyche. History has shown that poets and writers have thought deeply about death and spoken about it. Saadi, an Iranian thinker who has gained world fame by expressing his moral and philosophical wisdom, in addition to telling anecdotes in his works “Bustan” and “Gulistan” and even in his “Ghazaliat”, has discussed the meaning of death and the anxiety caused by it. Due to the importance of the subject of death, its certainty and inevitability, the current study used Saadi’s works, along with a descriptive-analytical method based on interdisciplinary studies to investigate how Saadi and Yalom help human beings to overcome the horror of death and to live happily or save themselves from its fear despite knowing about death and to face the crises and their mental and psychological problems. The findings show that facing and remembering death not only reduce death anxiety but also make life meaningful, more precious, and valuable. As a result, with such a perception, one can make death enjoyable not only for oneself, but also for others.

Abstract
Modern art and literature transformed the foundations of modern aesthetics by paying attention to the negative and unconventional philosophical topics that did not play an important role in classical aesthetics. “Death” is known as one of the central elements of modern literature based on the thoughts of the existentialist and post-structuralist schools. In the modern novel, death plays an essential role in the structure and texture of the story in terms of content, language, and art; and many of the aesthetic aspects of the novel revolve around it. Sadeghi, as one of the leading writers of Iran, made “death” the subject of his novel, “Malakut”, and used many of the literary aspects of his work around this concept. In this research, using the descriptive-analytical method, the aesthetic aspects of death in “Malakut” have been analyzed, which are tied to other components of modern aesthetics. The findings of the study show that the relationship between death and other components of modern aesthetics such as paradox, absence, and ambiguity has led to the importance of the dark aspects of existence as well as the rejection of the work based on the classical and conventional standards of aesthetics.

Abstract
In modern times life was associated with an anxiety, frivolity and despair that ultimately led to the inevitable fate of death and this was the issue that was considered in modern art and literature. Hedayat due to desperate worldview and desire that he showed to the concept of "death", the existential influence of death in human life was subject to many of his stories. In Hedayat stories, most of the characters are caught in isolation, pessimism, absurdity and various psychosis, which leads to their death and suicide in many cases. In this article, we analyzed the essential importance of the concepts of "madness" and "fear of death" and the function of madness in confronting the fear of death in the Hedayat's Stories Zende be Goor and Se Ghatreh Khoon. Research findings show that in Hedayat's stories, madness inveigles death and Terror of death by making modern life meaningless and Emptying people's minds and it frees the minds of the characters from existential anxiety and worries and terror of death by giving up life before death and by taking advantage of ironic suicide.
