comparative study of basic human needs in the poems of Jale Qaim Maggi and Simin Behbahani,
relying on Golsar's selection theory. The findings of the present research show that there are

Behbahani, but some of these needs are felt more in the individual under the influence of factors
in life and environment, and this caused more images of them in their poetry. opportunity to
