Abstract
Sadiq Hidayat is the most prominent contemporary Iranian writer at all. Most of his works have been universal in nature, and some of which have been psychic-surrealistic. Some of his works are also close to the brink of hallucination and madness, and some have a sense of humor which entails harsh criticism. All of his works indicate their different intellectual streams that reflect the writer’s hesitating psyche. Here, we are studying one of Sadiq Hidayat’s mysterious surrealistic stories which he wrote while he was suffering from a painful psychological crisis called life. The “three drops of blood” is not but the story of that world Sadiq used to live in as he sees it and not as the real world. It is a crazy world full of insane, killers, and criminals, people who do not hesitate to commit any betray or crimes even against friends; it is a world that the writer has not written about by selecting its courses, but he was able to end it in his way. This story embodies that pessimism and depression hidden in his soul.
Key words: Sadiq Hidayat, three drops of blood, pessimism, psychic-surrealistic, symbols.
