Abstract
"One Thousand and One Nights", like many other literary works of the world, is a mirror which reflects the archetypes that are the product of different mankind’s repeated experiences left at his unconscious. The psychoanalytic study of myths which are a repository of mankind's aspirations and thoughts shows the presence of “collective unconscious” as denoted by Jung, revealed in archetypes. This study aims to analyze one of the stories of the book "One Thousand and One Nights", named "Jozar", in the light of Jung's findings in the realm of psychology of myth. The findings show that in this story there are some other secondary archetypes other than the major archetypes such as Anima, Animus, Wise old man, Shadow and Mother. The archetypes are classified into three categories: Archetypal situations, characters, and symbols. In this study, different types of archetypal situations are journey, visiting the self, and visiting anima. Different archetypal characters include The wise old man, Anima, Animus, Shadow, and Mother. The archetypal symbols analyzed involve numbers, animals, objects, etc. The present study confirms the high potentials of "One Thousand and One Nights" to be studied as mankind's common collective psyche along with history which includes stories and legends as well.
