        Irony is a type of lyric which aims at modifying the disorganizations by picturing and criticizing the disadvantages and deficits of the society. In this regard, they can be considered as the most effective type of criticism. This method of expressing is not the result of prejudice or hatred, but it is a critical review on various disadvantages in the society which is mentioned in a special kind of language accompanied by laughter resulted from sorrow and sadness. Irony has an extended application nowadays while in the past it overlapped libel, facetiousness, and ridicule. “Abolghasem Payandeh” and “Jalal Al-e-Ahmad” are two contemporary writers, and critics who have satirical style. Through using satire in their stories they reveal the shortcomings and vices of the society aiming at awakening people and repairing the situation. Although they both had the same goal and they both used the same tools and ploys, due to the difference in the origin, social status, and approaches the employed, the product of their efforts are different. The aim of comparing these two writers is to show these similarities and differences. Although regarding time and language they are close to each other, Abolghasem Payandeh’s criticism is more socio-cultural, and Jalal Al-e-Ahmad’s is more socio-political. They both employed techniques like similes, irony, folk interpretation, strange word formation, etc, but satirical similes are more frequent in Abolghasem Payandeh’s works, while in Jalal Al-e-Ahmad’s works Irony and folk interpretation are more frequent.

        The ruling political system duringthe Pahlavi II era, with its cultural policies, development-oriented economic views, and the creation of an atmosphere of repression and suffocation, turned its desirable discourse of Iranian identity, originated in Westernism, modernism, and archaism, into the only dominant discourse and marginalized other parallel discourses and voices. In such an atmosphere, the idea of "return to self" was raised and favored in the intellectual circle. In almost all research, this idea has been investigated as an answer to the question of identity and the desire to seek the identity of Iranian society. This article focuses its central question on the relationship between "return to self" and the Intimidation of the ruling political system and believes that according to Jalal Al-e-Ahmad, this idea has been an attempt to create an alternative to the dominant ideological and identity discourse of the political system. The hypothesis of the present article considers "return to self" as an attempt to de-Intimidationthe dominant discourse of the ruling political system; however, within this idea, the seed of Intimidationand turning into a single voice and marginalizing alternatives and other voices have also been cultivated.

        Memoir research is one of the reliable sources of research and investigation in historiography, and it is also a tool for transmitting experiences, customs, religious and national rituals of societies to future generations.On the other hand, it expresses individual, ethnic, and national emotions and feelings against incidents and events. Jalal Al-Ahmed is one of the writers whose vast volume of writing is in the field of memoirs.The works of this author in many ways, including social, political and historical, are indicative of his ups and downs life. This article tries to survey the memory and types of memoirs in the works of Jalal Al-Ahmed with a descriptive-analytical method.The results of the research indicate that most of the stories of Jalal Al-Ahmad are related to the description of the author's life and personal memories. For this reason, his works can be classified as memoirs.In most cases, these stories do not proceed with a specific story coherence; Because the author sometimes interrupts the course of the story and interferes in its process with his comments; It is as if Jalal's realism has made him sometimes cross the boundaries of fantasy and enter the real world.Among Jalal Al-Ahmad's works, his travelogues and letters have a prominent place. His views in his travelogues and letters, in addition to revealing part of the author's private and family life, also give us the opportunity to take a fresh look at the political, cultural and social events of the author's era.
