Abstract

There are types of lyrics in contemporary poetry as well as the classical poetry. These types are evident in classical, neoclassical and contemporary Nimaiic currents. Different types are seen in contemporary poetry in new ways, one of which is fictional poetry. The fictional poems in contemporary poetry, especially in Nimaiic flow, are divided into two audible and pictorial branches. The fictional poem in contemporary poetry moves to theatrical poetry using novel illustration, and fictional poetry goes from traditional narrative to the dramatic scene. Forough Farrokhzad is the representative of contemporary female free or Nimaiic poets. In his fictional poetry, he creates women's personalities with different characteristics. The present article is the result of investigation and analyzing Forough poems with a descriptive-analytical method and a library study. The poems have been analyzed in a comparative way. The character of women in her poetry are influenced by the intellectual changes and individual character of the poet, and the movement of society’s traditional women and their shifting to social women can be considered in his poems in sociological terms. The personality and social and insight of women in his fictional poems represent the face of contemporary women in regard to modern society and variable concept of feminism at the contemporary time of the poet.
