Abstract
Implied author and implied reader are components of a narrative structure, playing a crucial role in illuminating hidden elements within a text. Therefore, studying these elements in literary works can expose the underlying layers of narration and open up new critical outlooks to the readers. Furthermore and in cases of cinematic adaptations, it explains whether this was the novel or the film that has managed to unravel narrative complexities of the other medium more successfully and better facilitate audience understanding. The novel GavKhuni and its film adaptation are among works in which the plot is not causal, but internal and fluid. Thus, the reader has to decode textual evidence in order to understand how conceptions and viewpoints are formed in characters. Afkhami’s adaptation of GavKhuni is totally loyal and all elements of the story are faithfully mirrored in the film. However, Afkhami has made use of these elements to present his own ideological concepts. Repetition is a method that both the author and the director have used to transfer their ideas to the audience. Using a descriptive-analytical methodology and a narratological and inter-disciplinary approach, the present research attempts to analyze the ways in which implied author and reader are represented in the novel and the film. Since the author and the reader of each era are thrown into their work and new meanings are discovered in fulfillment of their expectations, thus the audience of this novel and film would discover new meanings from out of the narrative text of GavKhuni as well as its adaptation.

Abstract
Research shows that the study of literary texts about an illness, especially from a phenomenological perspective, can contribute to a better understanding of the patient and the illness and lead to knowledge of the world and the human way of thinking. Obviously, this approach increases the appeal and interest of the audience in the study of literary works and opens up new horizons for them. On the other hand, among human emotions, the expression of love and behavior related to romantic feelings is more frequent in literary works, especially in the works of female writers, and erotomania, or romantic psychosis, is one of the delusional disorders reflected in these works. This descriptive-analytical study examines how the symptoms of erotomania are described in two short stories, named “Rana” from Nazli story collection written by Moniro Ravanipour and “Bad az Tabestan” from Chahar Rah story collection by Ghazaleh Alizadeh, according to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. The results indicate that the fictional characters in the works studied show symptoms that meet the clinical diagnostic criteria of the disorder in question. In these stories, in addition to the description of clinical symptoms, the authors have also considered sexual, social, economic, and cultural factors. This shows the ability of the writers to create realism and credibility in the plot of the story, which makes the reader better connect with the text and get influenced by it. Moreover, the description of the feelings and beliefs of these characters and their effects on their lives and personal and social relationships can help readers to better understand the way of thinking and the life experience of those people and create communication that comes from understanding a psychotic person in the real world.

Abstract
Poetry and painting are two different ways to create works of art, and their close correlation has always been the consideration of art history researchers and literary critics. Sohrab Sepehri is an artist who has tested his taste in both the fields of poetry and painting. Therefore, the present research, targeting a select collection of paintings of trees and Hasht Ketab (Eight Books) of Sepahri, in the light of the theory of Panofsky's Iconology, deals with a comparative and interdisciplinary study of these works. It also focuses on the image of trees in both poetic and painting media to analyze and explain the various structural and semantic aspects of common icons in order to discover the characteristics and connections between his poetic world and the art of painting. The main question is why and how the image of a tree acts differently in two linguistic and visual systems. Sepehri's approach to the element of tree in both poetry and painting contrasts with such concepts as dynamism and static, life and death, rootedness and rootlessness, fertility and infertile, openness, closure, and junction and disjunction whereas it sometimes gets very close to each other in such themes as strangeness and the sense of suspense. Sepehri is under the influence of the paradigm of modern Iranian painting in drawing the image of the tree and its space, in which the space is basically contracted, dark, and desperate. That's why the trees in his works act mostly in the direction of rupture. They move in the direction of disjunction from the world and the essence of existence which can be an allegory of Sepaheri's objective world. However, the image of the tree in his poems is in line with the dominant concepts - a symbol of growth, freshness, and vitality - at the usual level far from the rhetorical signs and the uncommon domain of connotation in Persian literature. It is in fact an explanation of the ideal world of the poet.
