Abstract

Surrealism is a school that emerged from the Dadaism and stood up against the laws and rules that had been based on reason for years and gave way to the world of fantasy and illusion and left the writers of this school free to write without any concern for moral or social issues. In this way, everything that was not valued before came to the fore; Issues such as dreams, illusions, and fantasies that were a protest against a world ruled entirely by reason and knowledge, but drawn into world war. In Iran, too, writers have written some novels based on this school. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the present study aims to examine the novel "I, number three" written by Atieh Attarzadeh based on this school to find out whether this novel is surreal or not? And if so, what elements and features have led us to call it surreal and what has been the author's method in narrating it? The results show that the novel "I, number three" can be considered a surrealist novel by using elements such as dream, automatic writing, humor, wonder, madness, woman and love and surreal images that use the monologue method in its narration.
