Abstract
This research takes an interdisciplinary approach to examine the role of architectural elements in the surrealist stories “The Blind Owl” and “Prince Ehtejab”. Each of the architectural elements has its own specific definition and function that shapes the physical atmosphere i.e., it creates an atmosphere limited to time and place. However, the content of these elements with their implicit meaning creates atmospheres that are not limited to time and place. As the purpose of this research is to examine the effect of architectural elements in creating the surrealist atmosphere of these stories, first of all, the architectural elements that existed in the stories were extracted and, through comparative studies, their meaning beyond the physical aspect was analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method. Ultimately, the crucial role of these elements in creating the surrealist atmosphere of the stories was elucidated. Sadegh Hedayat’s “The Blind Owl” can be considered his most important work. Architectural elements such as the narrator’s house and the buildings in the story play a significant role in shaping the story’s atmosphere. In “Prince Ehtejab”, due to the protagonist’s reminiscence of the last night of his life in his room, a surrealist atmosphere emerges. Upon closer examination, it can be said that the architectural elements in the room, carrying meaning beyond themselves, play a fundamental role in expressing the prince’s personal circumstances and exposing his weaknesses and fears.

Abstract
For Kristeva, each text is the result of its preceding textual network. Hence, to decode a text, one must consider this textual network. Authors and poets have always benefited from previous texts. This is sometimes done as legendism which is nothing but rewriting and recreating legends, and does not help literature much. However, “trans-legendism” has a different approach that can be a cause of literary transformation. Trans-legendism does not just refer to legends by way of allusion and referencing but transforms the past texts by employing intertextuality to the point that the reader cannot easily recognize what texts and legends have been used in the formation of the new text. In the novel Spells, we are faced with three methods: legend-telling, legendism, and trans-legendism. In The Blind Owl, too, the writer has transformed the text of the past through the use of multiple legends and myths. This article investigated the two novels based on trans-legendism or legendary intertextuality. This study concluded that both novels have benefitted from legends even in opposition to legends.
