خلاصة:
In the few decades that narratology has been introduced as a science، narratologists have tried to explore its universal structure by finding specific narrative patterns for different aspects of story writing، including narrative time. The French theorist، Gerard Genette، has posed an autonomous theory on "the parameter of time and its function and place in narration". According to him، timing arrangement in a narration is got through order، duration، and frequency. Studying and contrasting them against real time، one can determine the place of time in the process of story. Studying narrative time of in the play of "Moonlight Women، Sunny Man" by Chista Yaserbi shows that Yasrebi، avoiding the usual time sequence، and moving from chronological time to the text time، has made different selections and provided flashback and futurist narratives. Such selections and their especial timing plays a significant role in arranging the components of the plot، as well as suspense. Moerover، studying duration and frequency of the events narrated in this play، shows that the events enjoy an appropriate beat and speed according to the author's purpose. Regarding principles of narratology، there is a direct and significant correlation between content of the play and the speed of narrating the events، their repetition and frequency.
ملخص الجهاز:
The narrative structure of "Moonlight Women, Sunny Man" is shaped by deviation from the natural order and arrangement of events, and the inner core of the play is presented to the audience based on anachrony; in fact, the complex changes and transformations of temporal sequence and the use of analepses and prolepses in the narration of this dramatic work play a significant role.
In fact, by disrupting the chronological order of time, the author returns to the past and, by narrating the story of the continuous presence of three dead women at the door of the seeker's cell and his meeting with his mother, fills the narrative gaps resulting from anachrony.
Since these analepses pertain to the central character (the seeker) and the main plot of the play, and in terms of the temporal circle, they go beyond the beginning of the seeker's narration and return to a time prior to the start of the narration, they are of the type extradiegetic analepsis related to the main plot of the story; on the other hand, the arrangement of analepsis narratives in describing the seeker's experience of spiritual intuition, which constitutes a major part of the play, has a special function in shaping the non-linear and circular narrative structure in the play "Moonlight Women, Sunny Man.
In fact, "Moonlight Women, Sun Man" narrates a relatively long temporal span of the seeker's spiritual growth process, which the author has presented in 7 parts (33%) with simultaneity of event duration and text volume of the play, meaning with constant acceleration: - The seeker's internal monologue when facing the corpse of the first woman.
