Abstract
The shadow archetype is one of the driving factors of unpleasant feelings in human beings. This archetype seen as a dominant pattern in the postmodern poetry. the present study describes this feature as a stylistic feature in the postmodern poetry that this feature creates a dark atmosphere and expresses unpleasant and disgusting feelings along with social and political anomalies by the poets in the contemporary poetry. To prove this claim, ten collections of works by seven postmodern poets were studied and evaluated using a descriptive-analytical method. The result indicated that the heavy shadow of the archetype of shadow has unconsciously spread so much on the mind and soul of these poets that it has dimmed the positive aspects of other archetypes and thus reflects fears, failures, frustrations and external manifestations such as murder, betrayal, rape, protest, etc. in the works of such poets and has been able to turn poetry into dark and full of shocking and along with continuous death thoughts.
