One
of the common themes in contemporary Persian novels in Iran is the
psychological development of women and their challenge to find their path
towards individuality. By applying Jungian “process of individuation,” Fariba
Vafi’s novel My bird is analyzed to uncover the self- development of the
female character. The motion of self-archetype is studied in relation to Jung’s
theory of individuality to study how the female protagonist experiences this
process of personality development. The motif of re-birth emerges at the end of
the novel when the female heroine reaches a level of recognition of the changes
occurring within her. Other archetypal motifs that appear in the novel are the
house archetype, the shadow archetype, and the individuation archetype which
are discussed as they are the main structuring elements in the formation of the
theme of the novel. This research aims to study how the psychological
development of the female protagonist, based on Jung’s archetypal theories,
occurs.
