Abstract: This study aims to revisit the concept of subjectivity in Malone Dies by Samuel Beckett and Azadaran-e Bayal and Shab Neshini ba Shokuh both written by Gholam-Hossein Sa’edi. The term subjectivity is that strain in the middle of decision and dream, between forced definitions and individual cross examinations of them and between old formulae and new obligations, particularly as those pressures helps us to comprehend the convergence of artistic and different types of social representation and the basic talk of personality. For our motivation, one’s character can be considered as that specific arrangement of characteristics, convictions and fidelities that in short or long haul ways, gives one a steady identity and method of social being while subjectivity infers dependably a level of pondered personality in the meantime permitting a bunch of impediments and frequently mysterious, unavoidable limitations on our capacity to completely appreciate character. This study illustrates the concept within a framework which is religion. It tries to show how the subjects in these fictional works could be read in relation to the dominant atmosphere of contemporary age within which they are produced and that is religion. All in all it demonstrates the impression of religion on the writers as the early subjects who were tucked away behind their own created subjects of obliged environment of their time.
