Abstract

The most important base of the common romance is the love united with the war. Characters become meaningful in relationship with this term with regards to their role in the romance; either an oppressor or an oppress seeker. In the conflict between the romantic loves, the function of the story structures are considered particularly important. In this paper, it is attempted to study the signs of the romance and love discourse in the story united with the community and mentality of both the creators of the work and the readers after giving definitions for both idealist and real loves in the Persian common romances as well as the roles and positions of the characters. The results of the study show that the story’s target readers’ contexture variation into particular readers like Nasser-aldin Shah and his daughter Fakhrodoleh along with the social evolutions in Qajars’ era and moving from a socialistic view to an individualistic mentality has made the story bilateral. Thus, the characters’ roles and the love-related signs are moving through an idealist-realistic discourse. In this kind of discourse, the relationship between the lovers and their beloved ones, whatever, is a conflict between the mythological characters and lived ones as well as the ideal and reality encounter. The symbols possess dual images in combination with the love discourse and a transition between the fundamental and modern samples.
