        This essay investigates the foundations of Anahita's religion in the story of Bijan and Manijeh. Foundations of Anahita's religion, including life and nascence, holiness and benediction, domination and power, etc., are observed in the story of Bijan and Manijeh which has the thin and invisible thread of plant myth and story. Anahita, the goddess of water, is the purity and cleanliness angel throughout ancient Iran. She has played a role in creation myth of Zarathustra and the promised child of Zarathustra. She is the symbol of female chastity and purity. She has power and is dominant, is doer and actor. The results from this research show that in the story of Bijan and Manijeh, Manijeh represents Anahita's performances. She has fallen in love and is lovesick. Her feminine spirit flows in the story. She is Bijan's savior and provides him with food and water and librates him. His fall in well leads to consummation of her marriage because Bijan has to go through tough times to be qualified to consummate the marriage of Manijeh who manifests the traits of Anahita goddess.

        3 - The Dynamics of Combining Two Formalist Elements of Defamiliarization and Highlighting in Two Lyrical Stories of Shahnameh (Zal and Rudabeh, Bijan and Manijeh)
        Mitra Bighami Maryam Jafari Gholamabbas Zakeri

        Although the formalists' theoretical emphasis on literature and literary arrangements used in the text does not negate the importance of the content, it indicates the central points through which the literary text is separated from other works. The present article tries to examine the applications of the two main formalist arrays in the two stories of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh. The attribution of the Shahnameh to the "epic" genre has never been questioned, but this does not mean that a text of such magnitude, which has a variety of content features, is devoid of lyrical themes. Among these stories, the focus of this article is on "Zal and Rudabeh" and "Bijan and Manijeh". The goal is to discover and then combine the two important formalist elements of "de-familiarization" and "highlighting". The goal of formalists is, first, to bring about a fundamental change in the automatic and conventional process of language, and, second, to create a shocking interruption. Although the use of formalist arrays, both in the traditional novel form and in the form of arrangements that were later considered by theorists, can be seen throughout the Shahnameh, the frequency of their use in these lyrical stories is higher. The results of the discussion show that the use of such arrangements greatly enhances the attractiveness and literature of the text in terms of the attractiveness of the lyrical aspects. Combining both tricks in the mentioned narrations shows that Ferdowsi was aware of this issue and its capacities. The use of unfamiliar words, the use of indicating /ɑ/ at the end of the shutters, the exaggeration, the de-familiarization of the concept and the lexicon, and the emphasis on narrative are the most important formalistic examples used in these two systems. Also, although the lyrical burden of these two stories has been dominant, but due to their presence in the context of an epic work, some epic words and crafts have been mixed with its narration, which, through strengthening familiarity, de-familiarization and highlighting in them, differentiates them from Creates other Shahnameh stories.

        AbstractOne of the surviving methods of the myths is their continuum in fiction and story., specifically the folk stories. Some stories in this case tell the myths related to the nature of fertility.The importance of such myths are so that James Frazier calls it the fundamental bases of all myths and Mehrdad Bahar labels it as one of the main columns of  myths. The myths of the nature ( fertility ) are those which are in connection with nature's death and its resurrection. Delving in some stories in Persian literature one can find the traits of the myths in nature and fertilization rites. The story of Bijan and Manijeh, in this essay, has been studied in connection with a thematical analytic method. The writers' assumption is that in the deep structure of this story one can find the symbols of myths in the nature. Based on this theory and with its thematical analysis we come to the conclusion that the myths of the nature and the rites of the fertility have been proved. Death and birth of the nature have been symbolically manifested and can be seen in its characters. Furthermore, there are other symbolic elements and archetypes in the text that are in relation with the main theme and have been analyzed thereof. Manuscript profile
