Abstract :
The “Open end” is one of idioms of fiction that has been taken into Consideration with the emergence of a new stream of story telling. This means that the story ends in a way that the reader feels that nothings is finished. In this finishing pattern, the author uses a variety of techniques such as: creating ambiguous, multiple, and interpretable spaces, leaving the story unfinished and creating a space for suspence and reflection in the reaer sʼ mind. In order for him to receive various interpretations for his story to end, he would eventually be involved with the author in Contributing to the ending of the story. In general, the “Open end” appears in three forms: “ambiguous and obscure end”, “unwritten end” and “multiple end”. The present article, using a descriptive-analytical approach, explores the “Open end” issue in the Persian story “A report on Nader Farabi” by Mustafa Mastour and the arabuic story “Blue Butterfly” by Noor Khater. Finally, the results show that this end pattern is more differentiated in the two stories. In this regard, Mustafa Mastour applies a hybrid paradigm consisting of multiple (in the form of multiple hypotheses) and ambiguous (inaudible) in the form of hypothetical propositions. Whereas, for this purpose, Noor Khater has merely used the ambiguous pattern in the form of vague propositions and unfinished narratives. In addition, unlike Mustafa Mastour, noor Khater explicitly refuses to close the final part of his story.
