Abstract

 
The present research which falls in the field of comparative literature and is based on the French school aims to study and compare the social poetry of Ahmad Shamlou, a renowned contemporary Iranian poet, and Bertolt Brescht, a German poet, writer and theorist's famous theater. The two poets looked at social issues through a human perspective and simple language which is reflected in their poetry. This research is fundamentally based on library research and seeking evidence and providing a comparative analysis of eight social concept of man, freedom, justice, patriotism, love, women, oppression and death with case examples in Shamlou’s and Brescht's poetry and drama, respectively. It is concluded that their works ry express the pain and suffering of human society. The social content of Shamlou’s and Brecht’s works stimulates thought, feeling and the imagination, and wakes up the disillusioned community that is thirsty for concepts like freedom, love, justice, oppression, and similar themes.
