Self-recognition is a topic that has been manifested in the literary works of all nations. In classic Persian literature, great poets like Naser-e Kosrow, Nezami, and Hafez, have presented it. In the contemporary period, Eqbal Lahoori has paid attention to this category from a new point of view. In the Scandinavian literature, Henrik Ibsen (Norwegian play-writer) in Peer Gynt (a play in verse), which is called by himself a "poetic fantasy", could show us the interpretation of Divine Trust and the noblity of mankind (self respect), involved in a sheer and artistic symbolism. Peer Gynt is the story of man's vagrancy and deviation who has passed through a long way to recognize his own self and reach the exalted reality of humanity. Eventually in the last stages of his life, he returns to what he has escaped from the whole of his life time. He returns to "God's word" along with the burden of responsibility [trustworthiness] which is the main purpose of his creation.
