ملخص المقالة :
The sociology and literature of a country have a long history; for this reason, content research in the field of literature can reflect existing attitudes regarding family lifestyle. In this study, the ways and differences of family lifestyle in the forties and eighties were analyzed by analyzing the content of selected novels, based on the components of Bourdieu's theory. The method of the present study is descriptive-analytical and the data are analyzed using the content analysis research method. The results indicate that in the novel of the forties is the basis of traditional family formation and content analysis indicates that there are many problems and issues in the family that family members, despite their severity and bitterness, are trying maintain to frame the family. In novel My Bird, the 1980s are the basis for the formation of the family on the principles of modernity, and show that the family is still of particular importance, but the maintenance of its framework is not done at any cost and cohabitation is less durable. If the family does not meet the choices of the couple, it will easily fall apart and take on a different form. Economic and financial problems are evident in the family environment of both decades, and there is no specific planning for leisure in both decades.
