Abstract

Patriarchy generally means male domination over the family. The role of women in maintaining, reproducing, and changing the patriarchal system in society is always one of the important discussions that have been raised in the continuation of the patriarchal structure in society. Discourses of power and their role in social issues is a topic that has been recently noticed in the media and is represented in different ways.
The purpose of this research is to examine the discourse of patriarchy and how it is represented in the film "Layla Brothers". Laila's Brothers is the latest film of Saeed Rustaee in which the discourse of patriarchy and the role of women in standing against it are represented.
Among the different methods, this study is close to the qualitative method. Due to the critical dimensions and the discourse approach, the method used in this research is critical discourse analysis. Critical discourse analysis has been done on four levels: "surface level", "surface depth", "depth level" and "depth of depth". At the level of the surface, dialogues, scenes, and all language elements related to the selected topic are selected and at the next levels, it becomes richer and more abstract. Finally, in the depth of depth section, these linguistic elements are related to discourse practices, and the hidden discourse of the film is analyzed.
