One of the most important linguistic theories that attracted literary critics and mythologists is " second order" or implicit meaning in the semiotics science. With the help of this theory myth and pure poetry not only have an explicit and clear meaning in the first order, but also refer to elevated levels to which readers subscribe meaning. Story of Zahak as one of the most beautiful Shahnameh' stories has common features with myths. According to the structure, language hides meaning in the first order (explicit) and elevates it to the second order (implicit). So first structure of this theory is a signifier which refers to many signfieds not just to one signifier and creates a second order which is understandable by some oppositions. This research tries to study language second order and binary opposition. Moreover, this study attempts to scrutinize characters of Jamshid being and Jamshid himself which can portray binary nature of humanity which sometimes has spiritual (Faraidooni) and sometimes has corporeal (Zahaki) aspects.
