Symbolism is also common in modern Iranian novels. Writers use symbols to represent deeper meanings. In 'The Blind Owl', the owl itself can be seen as a symbol of the protagonist's inner self and his state of mind, adding layers of complexity to the story.
Modern Iranian novels often have strong cultural elements. They might explore Iranian traditions, values, and family structures. For example, many novels show the importance of family honor in Iranian society.
They frequently deal with political and social issues. Given the complex history of Iran, novels can be a way to express thoughts on topics like revolution, dictatorship, and the search for freedom. Take 'The Colonel' as an example which reflects on the political situation through the eyes of a character.
