Abstract

The sense of inferiority significantly influences an individual's emotions, cognition, and behavior. In short stories, this psychological state often serves as a primary driving force behind character development and plot progression. This study aims to examine the terminology, concepts, and underlying causes contributing to the formation of inferiority and apply them to the short story by Fadil Omar. Drawing on Alfred Adler’s theory, inferiority feelings typically originate in childhood and, in some cases, persist into adulthood, particularly when individuals encounter life’s challenges and struggle to overcome them. This research constitutes a segment of a doctoral dissertation titled The Kurdish Short Story in the Bahdinan Region after 2003, According to Alfred Adler's Theory of Individual Psychology. The study seeks to address the following question: Do the factors contributing to the character’s inferiority complex in the short story Siyaposh Zimar align with those identified by Adler? Ultimately, the findings reveal that the same factors—namely, feelings of inferiority—stem from physical disabilities, neglect, and the loss of children.
