Abstract :

The main challenge of literature is to understand human beings with topics that are neglected. Among the hundreds of literary literacy fields, the story or novel provides space for entering into desolate spaces. One of the less important topics is the role of literature, especially novel, with the thoughts of religious minorities in Iran. Zoya Pirzad, the author of the novel "I Lighten off the Lights" and "Get used to", is one of the successful Iranian writers who has achieved a good position among readers and critics. In addition to their literary and artistic values, these novels also deserve to be considered the first Persian novels written by the Armenian writer whose adventures are in an Armenian language and one of their themes is the relationship between a closed ethnic community and a large community. In this essay, the role of Pirzad's novels in introducing people to the lives of minorities, especially their women's society, is to be shown more and better. In this regard, the basis of the work is based on a review of the two novels mentioned above and, in other words, we will not miss the other works of this author.
