Abstract
Analysis of Resistance Literature Components in the Poetry of Hoseyn Monzavi


Abstract
This study aims to analyze the components of resistance literature in the poems of Hoseyn Monzavi, examining the lesser-known dimensions of this contemporary poet's work. The research method is qualitative with a content analysis approach, and the study's corpus is the complete works of Hoseyn Monzavi. The findings indicate that Monzavi, by using his unique symbols, allegories, and metaphors, has depicted the components of resistance across several ideological and linguistic layers. These components include the call for self-reclamation, idealism and justice-seeking, anti-tyranny, patriotism, religious and national symbols and allegories, a mythical approach, a hopeful outlook, and the concept of martyrdom.
This research demonstrates that Monzavi, as a committed poet, has been able to express the fundamental concepts of resistance literature through the form of the ghazal. Resistance literature in his poetry is not merely a slogan but an intellectual current that intertwines internal and external struggle, teaching the reader self-belief and resilience against oppression.Hossein Monzavi, with his unique combination of lyrical and social literature, has become one of the most important poets of Iranian sustainable literature.An influential poet who has paved the way for other poets.
