The research answers the question of whether narcissism has had a significant effect on the quality and quantity of Akhavan's illustrations? In the present article, the psychological reasons for composing his narcissistic poems were investigated. The Akhavan's thirst for approval, reaching an ideal society, staying away from the manifestations of the modern world, and uniting with mythical characters who are the normal and abnormal branches of narcissism, back to the hallmarks of his personal life. The research method is descriptive and analytical. According to the research results, various levels of narcissism such as boastfulness, arrogance, praise of artistic status, Qalandari's thoughts, etc., have played a significant role in promoting the quality and quantity of artistic aspects of M.
