Abstract

Female poets in Afghanistan have presented many representations of poetic subjects according to the discourse conditions and lived experience. The metaphors made with the focus on women give an image of the situation and position of women in Afghanistan. In this article, we look at the metaphors of women in the poetry of three poets, each representing a range of poets and people of Afghanistan. Hervey's veil is closer to the traditional mentality. She has not distanced herself from the traditional point of view towards women and except for a few objections, she walks in the same framework. The position of women in his poetry changes from passive and flexible to active. Until the last moments of his life, he did not cut off his connection with the cultural tradition and constantly wants to reform it. Baran Sajjadi has entered from the very beginning with a tradition-breaking stance and with numerous taboos, he intends to bypass the tradition rather than correct it. The textual structure of the research is the works of these three poets and the method of content analysis. First, we extracted all the female metaphors in the poetry of each of the three mentioned poets, and then, by determining the metaphors and macro metaphors, we analyzed the metaphors to find the mental system of each poet.
