خلاصة:
Haji-Agha, written by Sadeq Hedayat, tells the story of Haji-Abutorab who is known as a benefactor and philanthropist among his people, but is actually a sly and stingy man inside. His miserliness and materialism is not only a simple attribute but a horrid sickness. What makes the semio-semantic analysis of this feeling significant is the inter-mental or interactional aspects, what Landowski labels the contagious of this feeling. Thus, this study aims to follow figures like Greimas and Fontanill on the formation of human feeling, and analyzes miserliness through a semio-semantic perspective. The study aims to answer how miserliness as a model of individual feeling is an inter-mental one, and how Haji-Agha's miserliness changes from a personal feature to a social one. In this regard, first, the formation of emotion discourse in the story is analyzed, and then, the social aspect of miserliness is discussed. In the end, the concept of miserliness is discussed through the semio-semantic system of feelings.
ملخص الجهاز:
The main question that arises is how the process of the formation of the semantico-semantic sign of stinginess in the story Haji Agha elevates this emotion from a destructive factor of personality and individual life and introduces it as an entity arising from the inner world of humanity 3 that gradually emerges and manifests, and brings all the decision-making, actions, reactions, and behavioral orientations of the subject under control in the narrative and emotional dimension of discourse.
Regarding parsimony, which has been discussed as a type of these kinds of emotions, and given the provided definition based on "excessive attachment and dependence on money and the tendency to collect, accumulate, and also to take possession of it" (ibid, 112), it can be said that the miser, as the subject, considers everything categorized as property, wealth, and assets as his valuable object.
It must be said that the miserly subject's perception of the concept of the rival changes throughout the story according to the situation and circumstances of the characters; however, the certain point is that since this rival is in conflict with Haji Agha's pathological love for money and profiteering, it sometimes casts a shadow 32 over the subject's attachment to and enjoyment of his valuable object and constantly makes him aware of the danger of losing it; because the subject, before feeling this shadow, is aware of the value he possesses: "The subject can better recognize the value of an object from beyond these shadows" (41 :1991 ,Fontanille &Greimas ).
