Abstract

Ebrahim Yonsi, a contemporary storyteller whose origin is the west (Kurdish regions) of Iran. The novels "Dada Shirin" and " Doa baraye Armen " are considered two prominent works of Ebrahim Younesi, and because they delve into the characters and classes of the western regions of Iran, they are considered in the category of social-peasant novels, and usually revolve around rural and poor characters. The Pahlavi era is coming. This article has depicted the approach of Ebrahim Yonsi in personality rehabilitation and personality development with descriptive-analytical method. The findings of the research show that Ebrahim Yonsi used indirect characterization as the dominant method in character processing in his stories; Description, conversation, action and behavior, name and environment are the manifestations of indirect characterization in the stories of Dadashirin and Dua for Armen, in which the elements of description and environment were more prominent. Dialogues, including monologues, do not have a prominent presence in Ebrahim Younisi's novels, and this shows that Ebrahim Younisi does not pay much attention to the psychoanalysis of characters in his novels and tries to appear in the position of a narrator.
