Structuralism mostly investigates narrative elements in stories. A structural narratologist basically intends to compile a coherent structure among other different aspects of a story. The present study investigates the structure of AmirArsalan story, the last important fragment of Persian folksy long story generation, according to some structuralist theories. According to Grard Genette, we can analyze AmirArsalan story at two levels of recite and narration. At “recite” level, it has been discussed based on narrative perspective. At “narration” level, the narrative structure has been investigated and then the similarities and differences have been mentioned compared to other folksy long stories. In the second part of narration level, its syntactic structure has been pointed out and we have tried to summarize the story characters, their acts, and manners in the most compact way. |
