Abstract
Fiction is an important part of literary works. "Mahboob al-Qulub" is one of the fiction and folk literature books of the Safavid era.
"Mahboob al-Qulub" is one of the fiction and folk literature books of the Safavid era. Mirzabarkhordar Farahi, a writer and secretary, wrote anecdotes and stories in the style of that time with encouraging expressions.
This research has focused on the story structure of "Rana and Zeba" from this book, according to the elements of the story, such as: beginning and background setting, knotting and instability, conflict and conflict, crisis, high point or turning point, unraveling and ending. The existence of these elements and the unusual and artificial prose of the book have sometimes accompanied the narrative aspect of the story with slow beats and sometimes with attractive suspense; It seems that the story in the story or episodic makes the story have several narrators and in this way, each story is narrated in the middle of the main story.
Pirang in fiction is the structure and skeletonization of a story, which is inevitably based on the cause and effect relationships that arise in folk tales based on the story line in accordance with popular belief. Criticizing the elements of Pirang makes the layers of the story clear, and this is especially important.
