Abstract: (9267 Views)
This study aims to throw light upon the experience of meeting with The Self in “The King and The Slave Girl” From Masnavi by Persian poet Jalal Al-Din Al-Rumi. This study tries to apply Carl Jung theory of Collective Unconscious. Jung was the first who discovered the presence of the collective unconscious mind in addition to the individual unconscious mind. He believed that men have the power of collective unconscious mind that belongs to the society and the culture they live in. Archetypes constitute the structure of the collective unconscious. The most famous archetypes are Anima (The archetype of female in man), Animus. (The archetype of male in woman), Shadow (The hateful part personality), Wise Old Man (Archetypal image that embodies wisdom). According to these archetypes, we can say that The King in AL-Rumi story symbolizes a Sufi who is traveling across an inner trip to obtain true knowledge of himself. In his trip The Sufi pass through dark tunnel of soil.
