Deconstructionism in the Story of Samak-e- Ayyar based on Jung's Principles

Samak-e- Ayyar is the oldest story of Persian folk literature, in which women appear in different and various roles. Though having positive performances, they are judged and looked at with suspicion and paradoxes. These paradoxes lead to a variety of echoes in a text. With understanding these various voices and relying on Jung's principles, the researcher has looked at the story deconstructively and has seen the creation of women in this story as a product of the narrator's collective unconscious which is, in fact, as a compensation for lack of femininity in masculinity, which is rooted in Mithraism since in history, whenever a gap is felt, unconscious which is self-regulatory fills it
