Resumen
The current study focuses on the archetypal analysis of Zahak Story of Shaname based on Fry’es theory of anatomy of criticism. In view of this, three distinct categories for the poetical imagery of the stories have been identified. The apocalyptic imagery is shown to coincide in detail with the mythical character Freydoon and the “atmosphere” governing his era, and his transition from a hero of romance mimetic mode to a myth. Demonic imagery is demonstrated to match with sufficient analogical evidence with Zahak, the hero of “Ironic” mimetic mode, and his era of monarchy. In Addition, three intermediate substructures, according to Frye’s definitions have been identified to be in close agreement with three characters in the story. These, respectively are denoted as “ analogy of innocence”, representative of childhood of Freydoon, “analogy of nature and reason” as representative of the era of Kaveh and presence of two durbar chefs, and “analogy of experience” indicating Faranak’s role and concomitant incidents. Finally the total imagery of the narrative is constructed and it is concluded by analogy that Frye’s theory of archetypal analysis is applicable to archetypal analysis of Zahak’s Story.
