Abstract :

Tone analysis is a topic that attracts researchers' attention in studying literary works. In this way, the tone of the text is evaluated in terms of its proportionality or incompetence with the theme and content of that text. The current article studies the comparative analysis of the tone in the Romances of Samak-E Ayyār and The Count of Monte Cristo. Samak-E Ayyār is one of the most well-known works of Persian prose literature from the sixth century A.H., and Alexander Duma wrote the Count of Monte Cristo in the nineteenth century A.D. In this comparative study and written with a descriptive-analytical approach and citing library resources, the tone application method has been analyzed in the two works. According to the research findings, Samak-E Ayyār is more commonly used in the folk tone, while the Count of Monte Cristo has a formal tone. The tone of people adapts. to special emotional situations in the story, such as joys, mourning, and romantic events, as well as elements such as age and literacy, social class, individuality, and characters. The tone creates a perfect atmosphere in the rise and falling of the narrations. (wars, victories, and defeats)
