The novels by Ali Mohammad Afghani vividly portray a society plagued by illiteracy, superstition, and deep-rooted religious prejudices. Through his narratives, he highlights the oppressive patriarchy and the dire conditions faced by women. The rise of capitalism further corrupts societal values, fostering deceit and hypocrisy. Afghani's works also address the failures of administrative systems, the growing poverty, and the widening class divide, with money's pervasive influence affecting all aspects of life. Notably, "Husband of Aho Khanum" aligns more closely with Lucien Goldman's developmental structuralism than "Shadkaman Dara Qarasu."
