Abstract: (98 Views) |
The story of “Rostam and Shaghad” is one of the most technical and precise narratives in the Shahnameh. In this story, the most prominent hero, Rostam, is removed from the narrative flow. The interest and attachment to Rostam has caused Ferdowsi to show great sensitivity and obsession in removing him from the narrative path. In order to remove this national figure, Ferdowsi has had to spend a lot of linguistic and psychological precision in order to make his death with that greatness and invincibility appear reasonable. New criticism, as a concrete and systematic approach, attempts to show the verbal patterns, harmony, coherence, and internal connection of the components in a work by giving authenticity to the text.
The premise of the article is that Ferdowsi has tried to make the death of a hero like Rostam believable by using categories called “trust game” and “emotional deception”. Prepositions such as “charming”, “persuading”, “creating crisis and urgency”, “creating astonishment”, “transforming my story into ours”, “collusion”, “attracting trust”, “accelerating trust” and “conspiracy” make Rostam’s murder believable to a great extent. In this article, using the method of qualitative and precise description and analysis of the text, an attempt is made to evaluate Ferdowsi’s linguistic and psychological premises for the justification of the death of his great hero.
