Abstract

The love story of Khosrow Shirin has been noticed for a long time and has been narrated in different ways. The narrations of Al-Jahiz(772-840), Dinawari(9th), Tabari(839-922), Al-Tha'alibi(961-1038), Ibn Nabatah(1287-1367) and Ferdowsi(941-1025) are considered among these narrations that do not mention Farhad's name in them. Nizami Ganjei(1136-1222) brought this character for the first time in his book of Khosrow Shirin and he has made him Khosrow's love rival. The present research topic is "analysis of discourse logic on the construction of Farhad in Khosrow Shirin Nizami Ganjaei". And it is supposed to answer these questions that from where and how did Farhad enter the book of Nizami Ganjai's poetry? What are the reasons for naming the book by Nizami in the current form and changing Shirin's personality traits in comparison with previous works? The research method is descriptive-analytical. The data was collected by library and document analysis and analyzed using content analysis. The result shows that Farhad's story has entered the military work through the local narratives of the Zagros region. The difference between the title and discourse structure of this work can be examined from the perspective of power discourse and its audience, which is examined in detail in the text of the article.
