Abstract

The present study has been carried out to elaborate on the structures and applications of conflicts and binary oppositions in poems by Nima Yushij and comparison of his poetical style with traditional poetry. In order to achieve this goal, the structures of the binary oppositions and conflicts in Nima’s poems are seminally investigated and his poems’ binary oppositions will be secondarily compared with those in traditional poetry in terms of form and content. The present study’s findings indicated that Nima Yushij has made conscious and frequent use of the binary oppositions and conflicts in his poems and that his poetry is a conflict with the traditional poetry not only in terms of form and format but also in terms of the fresh perspective and enjoyment of new ideologies. The most important result of the present study is the maximal recognition of Nima’s poetry and personality in the area of binary oppositions‎.
