Abstract :

Ancient poets and writers always used anecdotes to spread their ideas. Ansari Balkhi, a poet of the fourth century AH, has turned the love story of Wameq and Azra into poetry. In this article, Todorov's structuralist method has been used to obtain an elementary poetic style in Wameq and Ozra and to analyze this anecdote. One of the main components of a story critique in Todorov's narrative model is its development and one of the most functional factors influencing the systematic coherence of this network. The fundamental issue of this research is to study and analyze the extent and manner of using the element of progress in the structure of this story. In this regard, a brief overview of Todorov's narrative model based on the recognition of progress, as well as the analysis and study of this effective element in the design of the system of Wameq and Azra is the main body of the article. The method of work in this research is reading this anecdote and structural analysis of their design based on the mentioned model. The general results obtained show that based on the actions, propositions and logical trajectory of events, the plot and network of developments in this anecdote are designed in a simple and appropriate way to the character of the anecdotes. The classic enumerates that in which there are many repetitive "propositions", it is very rare for deconstruction to occur in its "sequences" and the causality of its "text" tends towards mythical narrations.
