چکیده:
Nezami’s narratives-in-verse are of high importance for their monumental and eminent characters. This study intends to analyze the methods applied by Nezami while characterization. Accordingly، three of his fictional characters are chosen to be studied، including: Khosrow، Bahram and Alexander who are all alike in the case of being kings. According to this study which has applied descriptive and statistical methods، it is shown that Nezami، unlike the many classic story-tellers، has utilized the indirect presentation much more than the direct definition and his own methods of characterization has a direct correlation with the temper and moods of his characters. Nezami had a constant progress in the field of characterization and his most perfect characterization can be found in Sharafname.

Investigating the characterization methods of Nizami Ganjavi with emphasis on three characters: Khosrow, Bahram, and Alexander 1 Asma Hosseini Moghadam 2 Dr. Maryam Salehinia 3 Dr. Mohammad Javad Mahdavi Abstract Nizami's narrative poems possess a notable prominence in terms of having strong and enduring characters.
In this article, the process of formation and evolution of Nizami's characterization method in four poems, Khosrow and Shirin, Haft Peykar, Sharafnameh, and Iqbalnameh, has been investigated, with an emphasis on the characters of the three monarchs of the stories.
In these verses, the frequency of the hero's presence in the story and its proportion to the level of presence of secondary characters, along with the application of two characterization methods, namely direct definition and indirect representation – which itself includes five modes: action, speech, name, appearance, and environment - has been investigated.
The third form has the highest frequency in the poems, but its role in characterization is limited, and the greatest impact belongs to the descriptions provided through the language of other characters; such as the description of Khosrow as being lustful and impatient by Mahin Banu (Nizami, 1386a: 222, lines 12-19), his quick temper by Shirin (ibid: 338, lines 47-48), or the description that Fitna in Haft Peykar provides of Bahram Gur, introducing him as good-natured, free-spirited, and humble (Nizami, 1387b: 172, lines 94-95).
