A Study of the Psychology of Authoritarianism in the Plays Talkhak va Digaran and Qesseha-ye Mir-Kafanpush by Bahram Beyzai

This is an essay or critical study examining a recurring theme in the works of Bahram Beyzai. It explores how Beyzai portrays the relationship between authoritarian systems and the individuals living under them, treating despotism as a historical and cultural condition intertwined with the minds and lives of ordinary people. A central focus is the figure of the hero who rises to overthrow tyranny, but the essay also examines the darker side of this pattern: the tendency of people under oppression to abandon self-directed problem-solving and instead wait passively, like an immature child, for a savior to appear.
