Abstract

The psychological facts unquestionably support the dual dimensions of human sexuality. Yung, one of the great psychologists, believes in the existence of a male sense called the animous in the female entity and a female aspect called the anima inside the male. He considers these two archetypes, which are imprinted in the human collective unconscious, to be effective in the formation of human personality and behavior. Literature is considered to be a suitable scope and bed for the emergence of the collective unconscious and what it contains. Literary writers, like all human beings, in addition to the individual unconscious, are influenced by their collective unconscious in creating literary works. Abd al-Salam al-Ujayli, one of the great writers of Syria, who played a prominent role in the development of narrative literature in the Arab world, especially in Syria, is among these writers. Based on this, this article seeks to show the role of the the anima and animous of human existence in the formation of the characters of this author's novels. the results show that all the positive and negative forms of these archetypes can be found simultaneously in Ujayli's novels, but their negative aspects, which can be found in traits such as: prostitution, lust, seduction, betrayal, jealousy, surrender and tendency It is manifested in rebellion and disobedience, and it is more reflected in Ujayli's novels. Anima archetype has played a more colorful role in the formation of characters and the course of events in novels.
