Azhari ** Isfahan University Azahra Univerisity of Tehran Abstract The present study is an attempt to analyze individuation process as an important archetype in the story “Jamshid and Khosrshid” and the difficulties and calamities that the hero of the story grapples with to establish his identity. An archetype refers to a universally understood symbol or pattern of behaviors or a generic version of personalities or persons, which is the same for all nations and cultures and was discovered by “Karl Gustav Yung” after extensive studies. Individuation process is one of the archetypes introduced by Carl Gustav Jung. In his opinion, the essence of human (self) is not completed yet at birth, and improves gradually with time by going through individuation process to become what it should be. This process takes different forms and is dependent upon various individuals and cultures. Jamshid and Khorshid is a couplet poem story of a young man, following his dream about a woman, who decides to make a journey from the east to the west of the world to find her. On his way, he faces a lot of problems and obstacles such as arriving Jins' land, sinking down into a dangerous sea, battling against a dragon, fighting with Akvan-e Div, defeating his rival and Khorshid’s father's disagreement. In addition to individuation archetype, other important archetypes like ideal form of feminine element (anima), the ideal form of a good mother, the wise old man, dragon, sea, and various numbers can be investigated, too. Jamshid Having surmounted all his inner demonic forces, the young man becomes qualified to continue the way. Also, on his way, Jamshid benefits from the help and guidance of an old, kind wise man and a fairy. Although Yung succeeded in discovering and introducing the common archetypes in dreams and myths of various nations, these archetypes are very old and their use in the stories belonging to 600 years before it shows the presence of collective unconscious in all nations and humans from past to the present. * Assistant Professor in Persian Language & Literature, gholamhoseinsharifi@yahoo.com ** M.A. Student in Persian Language & Literature,m.azhari8564@yahoo.com
