The "dominant aspect" or "dominant element" is one of the fundamental concepts in formalism. It can be said that the dominant element is the prominent component of any work of art which affects other components and elements of the work and changes them; as a result, it makes the semantic centrality of the work and its structural coherence. The present study examines the dominant element in Mahmoud Dolatabadi's Works, based on "Jay -e- Khali -e- Saluch”. His works are important in various psychological and sociological aspects, but it seems the dominant aspect of these works is the "controversy of tradition and modernity” so that other issues, including violence against women and the identity crisis and poverty, have been more meaningful in the shade of the controversy. Based on the results of the present study, it can be said that various manifestations of this element (controversy of tradition and modernity) have been manifested in different forms of isolation, rejection, denial of will, identity crisis, and so on.
