چکیده:
Christopher Vogler is a master of writing screenplays and a representative of structural pattern of character or the hero’s journey in the world. Following Joseph Campbell’s example regarding the fundamental role of mythological motifs and psychological ideas of Carl Gustave Jung Vogler deals in a dramatic manner with the recognition and function of characters in the story. This research is concerned primarily with studying character of Forud which according to Voglers’s viewpoint is a manifestation of a tragic hero archetype. Moreover it seeks other similarities between other characters in the story with seven archetypal character model devised by Vogler. Characterization in connection with the structure of the story from Vogler’s perspective is so versatile and all pervading that almost embraces viewpoints of the most prominent researchers of story genres. Upon analysis of the structure and characters of the Forud’s story in Shahnameh one gets to the conclusion that not only Shahnameh is one of the best sources for this kind of research but also Vogler’s “the writer’s journey” is one of the best references for cinematic recreation of Shahnameh.

All the narrative dialogues in the representation of the character archetype contain appropriate and scene-coordinated speech, meaning worthy verbosity and conciseness, a fitting tone, providing fundamental insights, advancing the story, creating conflict, and so on.
In the story of Farod, the repetition of the event of the one-on-one battles of the Iranian heroes with Farod has a fundamental function in the structure and characterization of the characters.
Conclusion With regard to the fundamental archetypes of character enumerated by Vogler, the characters of the story of Farod can be categorized as follows: Farod (hero), Jarira (mentor), Tus (shadow), Takhvar (trickster), Bahram (supporter), Reyoniz, Zarasp, Giyu, and Bizhan (threshold guardians), the worshippers (clowns, supporters).
The messengers at the beginning of the story who inform Farod of the movement and arrival of Tus's army, as well as those observers who report the presence of that army up to the gates of the fortress, are manifestations of the Herald archetype.
