Abstract
In this study, attempts have been made to illustrate the formation and movement of a human theme in an international context. Among the available viewpoints concerning comparative literature, Remarque was adopted. He has considered comparative literature not as an independent subject but as an interdisciplinary one and as a bridge between literature of all nations. From among a wide variety of methods of comparative literature, George Brady suggests a method comprising four stages: description, interpretation, juxtaposition, and comparison.
The poem "heart of mother" was composed by Iraj Mirza, a parliamentary poet, and has been murmured and taught by our sympathetic teachers. Joan Rich Pen is the main part of it, and France is the main source of it. A comparative survey of this theme indicates that people irrespective of all distinctions, originating from their cultural differences, have a great number of things in common. These commonalities originate from their human spirits. Comparative literature, then, can manage to transfer feelings, emotions and wisdom to peoples and nations in order to provide positive relationships and connections between them and foster their thoughts and feelings as well as mutual understanding.

Abstract
Philosophical studies show that against existence for oneself, there is another being called existence for “the other”, i.e. as we think about ourselves, we find in our being another existence that depends on our existence. This paper seeks to answer the following question: what is the meaning of “the other” regarding the existentialism in Sartre’s play No Exit and Modarresi’s novel Yakolia va Tanhaei Ou? Considering the above question, the authors’ hypothesis is that the concept of “the other” in the two mentioned works means existence for the other, i.e. existence dependent on the other, which is the determining and guiding factor of individual behavior in the society. To test the research hypothesis, data was collected from a corpus of philosophical and literary works using the library method and was analyzed by the descriptive-analytical method. It followed that the authors’ hypothesis was confirmed and the meaning of “the other” was accordingly explained in existentialism.
