The numerous social protests in our country in recent decades indicate the existence of problems in society. The question is why the Iranian subject has become hysterical and demonstrates its protest in a practical manner during the past decade. This article addresses this issue within the framework of Lacanian theory and through a descriptive-analytical approach. Lacan attributes agency to the unconscious rather than the ego, considering the subject to have dimensions beyond the human individual. His theories are not merely psychoanalytic techniques; rather, he elevates his theories in the field of society to the level of ontological discussions by introducing the concepts of fantasy and the anamorphic reality. Lacan, by introducing the concept of non-identification subjectivity, sheds new light on the relationship between individual aspirations and social goals. The result of this investigation reveals that due to noticeable economic and social deficiencies, the ideological fantasy after the revolution has lost its functionality. Hence, the Iranian subject, instead of conforming to the discourse of the Master, challenges it and actively seeks to construct a new fantasy for itself.

Mossadegh is an influential figure in the modern history of Iran, whose anti-colonial and anti-authoritarian actions in the field of nationalizing the oil industry and confronting the policies of Reza Shah and Mohammad Reza Shah are well recalled by Iranians. Most writings on Mossadegh believe that Mossadegh's failure to advance the rights of the Iranian people, both nationally and internationally arenas was due to the actions and conspiracies of his domestic and international enemies and opponents, and few writings attribute this problem to the personality of Mossadegh and his decisive style. In this article, to examine Mossadegh's character based on oral history and books published about Mossadegh's life, we are looking for an answer to the question of how Mossadegh's personality influenced macro-political decisions and the type of interaction he had with the people. To this purpose, our method in this article is a qualitative document analysis based on library resources. To achieve the goal of this work is a combination of the type of personality theory of Karen Horney's and the personality model of C. G. Jung.
