چکیده:
The aim of this comparative research article is to examine the narrative positions and the element of plot in the narrative of 'The Rabbit and the Lion' from Rumi's Masnavi Ma'navi and the narrative of 'The Fierce Lion and the Clever Rabbit' from Jafar Rahbarimi's 'Sweet Tales of Rumi's Masnavi' ([Evidence]). The narrative 'The Fierce Lion and the Clever Rabbit' is a rewriting of the Masnavi Ma'navi. We believe that despite an almost identical appearance between these two narratives, the narrative 'The Fierce Lion and the Clever Rabbit' does not convey the same semantic meaning as 'The Rabbit and the Lion'. Why has a difference and distinction emerged between the plots of these two narratives? To answer this fundamental question, first, how meaning is produced in these two narratives must be examined; specifically, the narrative positions of these two narratives will first be compared with each other, and then, if a difference is seen between these two narrative positions, it will be pointed out. Then, an attempt is made to examine the plot of these two narratives, one of which is inspired by the other. By comparing these narrative positions and subsequently the plots, the goal is to answer this question: 'If a change has occurred in the plot, is it so that a new meaning is produced, or has another cause caused this change and transformation?' By answering this latter question, the answer to the question 'Why has a difference and distinction emerged between the plots of these two narratives?' will practically be provided.
خلاصه ماشینی:
We believe that the narrator of "The Sweet Tales of Rumi's Masnavi", in addition to drawing inspiration from the narration of "The Rabbit and the Lion", has changed the plot of the narration by adding the following phrase, and thereby caused a kind of inconsistency in the structure of the plot: "The happy animals of the beautiful plain were living well and happily when, by misfortune, one day, a ferocious lion came to the beautiful plain.
طایفــــۀ نخجیــــر در وادی خــــوش بودشــان از شــیر دایــم کــش مکــش بس که آن شـیر از کمـین در مـی ربـود آن چرا بر جمله ناخوش گشـته بـود (٨٢) As seen above, the initial part pertains to a time when the animals live in this pleasant place with fear and trembling: unlike the narrative of "The Ferocious Lion and the Clever Rabbit," in which the narrator describes a peaceful scene, and then, the arrival of the lion destroys this peaceful scene (as we will see later).
" (Ebrahimi, 1380: 26) "The story of the ferocious and cruel lion and the clever, wise, and intelligent rabbit has taken place in the world of animals and creatures.
This very issue caused "The Ferocious Lion and the Clever Rabbit" to be narrated with two plots, one complete and the other incomplete.
As can be observed, the narrative of "The Ferocious Lion and the Clever Rabbit" is, as if, formed from two plots.
