Abstract

Hana; a story in the anthology "Weather for several days of the year" written by Aiin Nowrozi is the story of a man who tries to recount the parting incident with his beloved Darya, but after a few lines towards the end, he talks about his niece Hana who was born almost at the time of his parting with Darya. speaking in terms of many signs of the story, it seems that the narrator's feelings, actions, and words are not realistic in the first sense of the word, and in general can see many conflicts, contradictions between emotions or feelings and actions and words. Narrators sometimes go into detail on various topics so as not to talk about the main topic or hide something. Thus, with Freud’s psychoanalytic critical approach, the text is explored with the assumption of the dreamy nature of the story and the possibility of comparing the work of art with a dream, and at the same time the degree of visibility of the story. However, there is another, much more important level hidden.

The aim ofarticle is to uncover and interpret the supposedly hidden meaning as well as to find coherence and meaning between the narrator's words, feelings, and emotions. The research method is inductive. Through analyzing the elements of the text and considering the internal and external evidence, it can be concluded that the narrator expresses the sadness of losing the Darya, the desire to live with him and have a child through the past.
