Peter Blau, as one of the exchange theory theorists, tried to develop a theory integrating behaviorism ad realism. Blau’s goal was to understand the social culture based on the social processes ruling the relations between individuals and groups. Blau stressed the exchange process as he assumed it directs human behaviors more and dominates the relationships among human beings and those of the groups. Analyzing the authors’ works in every period and in every nation suggests their attitude and mindset about the environments surrounding them and the social, political, economic issues and ... . The present study performed by descriptive-analytical method and based on the library references, the fables and stories of Marzban-Name viewed as one of the social classical literature fictions, will be analyzed via the perspective of Blau’s social exchange theory so that to be able to answer this question as to “Through what process of social exchanges the fictional characters in the two groups called the peasant and the king direct their behavior against each other in their work? “The results indicate that as the author of this fiction believes, various images emerge from the characters’ social behavior as the people of a society where the exchange structure has organized them; some powerful systems, though visible at an individual level, beyond which there is a robust hidden structure displaying itself in the exchange process among the society members.
