Abstract

Examining Eschatological Elements in the Poems of Ahmad Shamlou
 Introduction
One of the enduring and widely debated topics that has been the focal point of discussions among individuals, theorists, philosophers, religions, cultures, and nations is the concept of the world's ultimate fate. The idea of a beginning for the world implies that humanity consistently perceives the world in a linear path and envisions a destiny for it. Such a perspective leads to various cultures and nations, based on their ways of life, intellectual foundations, beliefs, traditions, and collective experiences, offering diverse predictions about the fate of the world. These predictions, at times, become influential and give rise to multiple movements on a societal level.Although eschatology is a significant topic in theology and divinity, it has also found prominence in broader fields such as literature and art, giving rise to a literary genre known as eschatological or apocalyptic literature.
