The central concern of this paper is to analyze and examine the discourse of women in the novel Four Seasons of Fall (Persian: Chahar Fasl-e Soqut) by Siamak Heravi, an Afghan author. Written in the aftermath of the fall of the republic, the novel is based on the life of one of the president's bodyguards. This study aims to understand the position and portrayal of women and their discourse within the novel. It investigates whether the female characters, both within the narrative world and in relation to the real world, actively promote a female discourse, or whether they passively submit to patriarchal ideology, accepting all forms of gender discrimination and violence. Employing an analytical-descriptive method with qualitative criteria, and drawing on library sources, this paper demonstrates that while the author's primary intention was to narrate the defeat of republican discourse by the discourse of the Emirate, he inadvertently addresses the lives of women who, after a relatively favorable twenty-year period conducive to their advancement, are confronted by the failure of that discourse in the face of a narrow-minded religious interpretation. From the working-class housewife, who is the protagonist's first wife, to Sana, the captive daughter who is raped by the president's bodyguard, Marjan, the love-stricken girl aspiring for education, and Najiba, a woman fleeing at the airport—all submit to the patriarchal culture. They endure violence, including deprivation of education, sexual assault, field courts, beatings, and lashings, as they are unable to seriously defend the female discourse. In only one instance does Khaleh Mah-Gol (Aunt Mah-Gol), through a discussion of sisterhood, indirectly critique Nabi, the protagonist, and defend Sana, who has been subjected to harassment, because Sana is still a child and lacks experience in household and life matters.
