The extent and depth of the lyric literature concepts along with the examples variety of this literary genre in the area of Persian literature are considered as the most outstanding features of Persian language and literature.While the creation of other literary genres (epic and didactic) has shown weaknesses in some periods of history, lyric literature has been encountered with growing attention and increasing evolution.But what it takes to understand the various aspects of this literary genre as a point of ambiguity has the sufficiency to express and research about is that under what constraints lyric prose works are impressively low in number comparing to forms and types of its poetry.The lack of a determined and proposed theory in the case of Persian prose method makes it difficult to find an answer to this question.Therefore, it was attempted foremost by referring to prose works and books related to writing principles and rules to elicit some of the definitions and criteria of Persian prose, so by the way of setting the necessity of providing the lyric words and the frameworks of Persian prose essays against each others, the theoretical impediments to the growth and development of prose lyric works become more clear.Since the present study focuses on theoretical components, the literary criticism and analysis of lyric prose texts and fragments are neglected and four theoretical factors were introduced as possible contributing factors to lyric prose deficit in Persian literature.

Realistic story writing in Persian literature was common among the writers since the beginning of story writing in the new style until present and most of the great contemporary writers have employed these realistic elements in their works. Jamalzadeh was one of the first Iranian writers who combined the old traditions of story writing with European story writing techniques and wrote the first Persian short story. His first collection of short stories, “Once Upon a Time” marks the beginning of the Iranian realistic literature. On the other hand, the fictions of Jalal Al-e Ahmad demonstrate the traditional life and religious environment of some part of the society which have been exposed to civility and modernity. Al-e Ahmad has tried to represent social life realities by expressing his critical view in his stories and he never victimized reality and truth for the sake of artistic visualization. In his opinion, the mission of story writing is critical reflection of reality in the first place. Therefore, this article aims to investigate the realism components in the fiction of Jamalzadeh and Al-e Ahmad as prominent writers of Iranian fiction, and compare their realism components as an aid to the analysis of their personal style and a tool for explaining the Iranian fiction. Both writers have employed the story writing realistic components and principles including characterization, description, language, and realistic theme for narration of the stories.
