Abstract : This comparative study analyzes the “Heroic Silence” issue in Sadegh Hedayat ‘s “Dash Akol” and Daisy Miller written by Henry James. As two significant figures in Modern Literature and Psychological Realism, Sadeq Hedayat and Henry James seem to have shared a similar inspiration despite their belonging to notably dissimilar cultures and territories. When it comes to inspecting their short stories and novels, there appears a common issue or concern embedded there even when examining their writings as American/European versus Persian from which “Dash Akol” and Daisy Miller as two notable instances of apparently dissimilar but fundamentally similar in deploying the theme of “heroic silence” do appear. Several interdisciplinary researches have been done on these works; cinematic adaptations have also been produced based upon these two works.
