In Jung's analytical psychology model, the mental part of human beings consists of male and female elements and only the agreeing side or element is evident and the other side is hidden. The animus or inner male is the masculine side of woman and responsible for masculine behaviors that influences subconsciously her behavior, performance, speech, and mental life. Jung believes that if a woman can control her inner force and compromise with it she will show its positive masculine characteristics and if she cannot control it she will show negative masculine characteristics. This inner force of women’s mental issues manifests itself in various positive and negative forms. Female poetry is one of the main manifestations of the animus. The study aimed to discover the manifestations, meanings, and implications of animus in Nazik al-Malaika’s poems, as one of the pioneers of form and content revolution in contemporary Arabic poetry. Lack of a systematic analysis of the masculine aspect of Nazik Al-Malaika’s poems, as one of pioneering female contemporary Arabic poetry, which uses psychological approaches was identified to be necessary. The results showed that in her individuality realm, she sometimes is in peace with her male side and sometimes she struggles with it and puts her psychological life in danger. Moreover, the dominance of desperation in her poems shows that she has usually been unsuccessful in dealing with the influencing force. Therefore, the negative aspects of animus are more manifested in comparison with positive aspects.

Abstract
the character element, as the main construction fund of every story, plays a significant role in the procedure of processing the plot, shaping the events and moving forward in any narrative text. The book of “Al-avasef” written by Gibran contains some short stories in which the author considers and cares about character element and methods of its processing. In the present study, with the aim of identifying the ability of Gibran in processing of fictional characters and on the basis of descriptive–analytical method, the definitions and classifications of character have firstly been presented and in the following, stories of this collection have been analyzed in the two realm of character types (static, dynamic, comprehensive and simple) and characterization methods (direct and indirect description: act, action, dialogue and name). The results of this research indicate that the most of the characters in this collection are of static and simple type, and among the charact
erization methods, the dialogue and direct description have the most frequency in comparison with the other methods.

Death is one of the most inspiring concepts in most of well-known contemporary Western and Arab poets’works,including T.S. Eliot and Badr Shakir al-Sayyab’s. It plays a unique role in shaping the modern poetry. This paper contains a comparative archetypal-based analysis of symbolic aspects of death in “The Waste Land”, the most famous literary work by T.S.Eliot whose impression on al-Sayyab was extensive. The basis of the literary analysis in the field of psychoanalytic criticism is Jung's theory of archetypes. According to him, archetypes model human behavior and are primordial concepts and images accumulated during time as collective unconsciousness, and human is inspired by them to evolve instinctively his own character. Poetic inspiration is one important field through which Jungian archetypes display themselves. This paper studies these symbolic features common in “The Waste Land” and al-Sayyab’s poetry.
