Abstract

Sohrvardi's Red Wisdom contains dramatic elements both in the form and structure of the narrative from the Aristotelian perspective. The value of the concepts, content, and meaning of this work can become a guide for performers and writers in the field of drama and theater through the wisdom included in it by Sohrvardi. This treatise, with its dramatic capacities, draws a journey that guides a person in search of his individuality and in the direction of knowing the existence, towards a truth that was once covered by darkness and hidden from His eyes were far away. Elements such as plot ,conflict, character, dialogue, dramatic time and etc. , which include the dramatic textual basis, can be evaluated in this work with the knowledge of its eastern worldview. Time in narration from Gennett's point of view is considered one of the main components that can be analyzed to determine how an author narrates and advances his plot. The modern aspects  of  Red Wisdom have had a profound impact on its writing style. Retrospective and forward-looking narrative techniques play an essential role to creating suspense and progression  of the story and conveying  the author's message. The frequency of  Singular and repeated narrative on one hand, and the presence of negative acceleration in the effect and order continuity besides all the components of Genet's theory, including centralization, on the other hand can also be investigated in the Red Wisdom.
