Abstract

Human existence, along with the functions and origins it reveals, draw from a wide variety of sources. One of these basic sources that overshadows human existence are archetypes. Archetypes are images or symbols of the human subconscious that control the human mind, thought, and behavior and manifest themselves in human social, cultural, and artistic life in a variety of forms. These images are hidden in the human subconscious and are the source of the myths, rituals and narratives. The sun is one of the common archetypes between different human races that has created and dealt with various mythical narratives among nations. This archetype is one of the most basic elements of the mentality and thought of Iranian myths that has preserved its dominance and reflection in Iranian thought, mentality, artistic and literary heritage in different historical, cultural and social periods from ancient times until now. Among the social and cultural classes of any society and nation, poets are one of the most important classes - who, through their poetry, inherit all kinds of archetypal themes and images and transfer them to the sphere of thought and culture of the later period. The sun is one of the common archetypes of human races that is revealed with different themes in the cultural works of different races. Nizamuddin Astarabadi is one of the poets on the horizon of Persian language and literature who uses images and themes related to the archetype of the sun in his poetry in a prominent and distinctive way. The reflection of this ancient archetype in Nizamuddin Astarabadi's intellectual mindset is the subject of this research. In this article, Nizamuddin Astarabadi's Divan is studied based on Jung's theory of archetypal analysis and the effect of the archetype of the sun on the poet's intellectual system is described and analyzed. According to the analysis of the archetype of Nizamuddin Astarabadi's divan, "power and crowning, wealth, beauty, life" are among the themes that repeat the use of the archetype of the sun in Nizamuddin Astarabadi's poetry. The dominance of this archetype in the intellectual and artistic space of this poet has a prominent and distinct function in the illustration and poetic descriptions of Nizamuddin.
