Survey of Water and Tree, as Archetypes, in Tahereh Safarzadehʹs Poetry

Archetypes are the unknown and complicated dimensions of the collective unconsciousness which have accompanied mankind since his birth; in a manner which makes it seem hereditary. The archetypal images are concealed in the unconscious part of the mind; and are actually the source and substructure of myths. They have a strict and close connection with symbols and are revealed in dreams, poetical and prophetical intuitions and revelations, and even observed in psychosis. Artists and poets create their work by using these concepts in specific mental circumstances, which is to some extent similar to intuition; intermingled with the power of imagination. In this respect, the artist and poet disguise these concepts unconsciously; depending on their own artistic talent and divine potential. Poetry is one of the most expansive domains for the manifestation of such archetypes. In the present article, the authors have made an attempt to briefly survey and analyze the method through which some of these archetypes have been applied and become functional in the poetry of the late Tahereh Safarzadeh; a highly skilled poet. The archetypes which enjoy more frequency in Safarzadehʹs poetry are; water, tree, woman, Mandala, numbers and colors etc. This article has specifically focused on two archetypes of tree and water.
