Abstract
Introduction
Persian poetry has experienced one of its most critical political eras in the contemporary history and the representation of positive and negative images of political figures is among the most significant achievements of the modern poetry. In this regard, Mirza Kuchak Khan Jangali is of particular importance, since he started a movement called The Jungle Movement and there are two distinct attitudes regarding him in a way that he’s been described either as a saint or bandit and rebel. The present research seeks to study the different attitudes regarding this political figure in the poetry of three distinct eras including Qajar era, Pahlavi era and Islamic Revolution era. The findings indicate that in most of the works, he has been depicted as a patriot, liberal, justice seeker, saint and martyr. However, the works influenced by political atmosphere, factional likes and dislikes and also inspired by foreign infiltrators described him negatively. Among many poets composing poetry regarding this movement, we can refer to Ismail Dehghan and Jafar Kushabadi as poets of Jungle movement.

One of the periods of Iranian sustainability literature is the period that covers from the constitutional movement to the era of the Islamic Revolution. Nowadays, we are witnessing the emergence of popular movements in the corners of the country, which are mostly based on the two axes of xenophobia and the struggle against internal tyranny and oppression of the rulers.
