Behavioral Analysis of the Characters in Yaghoub Yadali's Novels (With a Focus on the Novels "Adabe Bigharari " and " Adabe Donya ")

Abstract

The present work is an analytical and concise study from the perspective of Yaghoub Yadali's social psychological view of human beings, their sufferings, life issues, and their cultural reflections from the viewpoints of Max Weber and Georges Gurvitch, two prominent contemporary sociological thinkers who have examined human beings through the lens of their cultural existence, creativity, and creation. This research attempts to demonstrate that although human concerns initially manifest themselves economically and socially, they are essentially tied to culture, familial temperament, spiritual motivations, and beliefs. On the other hand, as Weber and Gurvitch emphasize, the study of any cultural and human phenomenon will not be comprehensive until it is framed within a social context, and addressing social issues without contemplating the culture and spirit prevailing over the conscience of the time will not bear fruit.

Through the analysis of Yadali's works, we conclude that the individual actions of the characters are a true mirror of their inner selves, closely related to their level of self-knowledge. The nature of human interactions and relationships is consistent with the structure of modern society, and the detrimental effects of the actors' behavior reveal the extent of disturbance and disorder in societies. Some of these, such as the objectification of human beings, value erosion, and the violation of norms by human beings, stem from their social, cultural, and educational backgrounds. Furthermore, the grounds for the emergence of misconduct are the result of emotional, cultural, economic, and ideological poverty within society. This research elucidates that individual behaviors shape the overall structure of society, and conversely, social pressures and the coercion of society can pave the way for individual disorders and the resulting behaviors of individuals within a society.
