The function of traditional characters in the modern poetry Arabic and Persian has different aspects, which using the  mask of characters is one of the most important of  them. Nowadays, the poets use the mask as an eloquent and artistic technic to explain about  their ideas. Sometimes, they apply  the mask of a religious character to confabulate with the  audiences by it. Shamlu and Adonis used “religious mask” in their poetic works to visualize their thought. Thus the fundamental function of  religious characters can be seen in their works because they wanted to benefit the actual and potential capacity of characters. This research is based on the analysis-narration criticism, and will study the fundamental  usage of religious mask in the poets of Shamlu and Adonis based on narrative structure and images of their works. For this purpose, firstly, we studied the concept and meaning of religious mask and the reasons of  its function in modern poetry; then we looked for the fundamental function of religious mask in the poets of Shamlu and Adonis to gain similar and different aspects of their application.
