Abstract

The hidden and obvious meanings that the artist creates in the way he expresses himself in a narrative work are influenced by his imagination, which penetrates into his speech and its form creates the work of art. In this mental action and reaction, the audience's sense of empathy is aroused by following nature, inner feelings and social attitude. The poem of Khosrow and Shirin Hakim Nezami-Ganjavi, as one of the first romantic poems of Persian literature, which has been followed by many artistic poets, is the subject of the present study. In the upcoming research, the artistic signs of the poet in the context of expression and originality in introducing the lover, his traits and characteristics as well as his actions, as one of the unifying elements of lyrical literature, are investigated. It is the result of the work shows that despite the authenticity of the work, the poet has never separated from the imagery of the beloved, and with a dramatic performance, the combined images of simile in metaphor (recognition), influenced by naturalism in the description, laws Romance and pre-determined images in the transition of his personal thoughts and emotions have created a portrait of a goat-martial from the scene of deer hunting by a lion (King). In this artistic treatment, contrary to the previous norms of romantic narrative literature, the female lover is not in the category of ideal and holy lovers and has entered the field of real women. Therefore, despite the sanctity of the images, the central person (prince) is real.
