Abstract :

Leyli and Majnoon are among Ganjavi's nizami poems that have had a great impact on the storytelling of Persian literature and have been imitated many times. In this research, using analytical descriptive method, Ganjavi's nizami narrative models in Leyli and Majnoon's narration have been studied. The results show that the main confrontation in this work is the confrontation that arose from the society of the age, a confrontation that is rooted in ethnic nervousness. The actions of the actors in this story are also significant based on this confrontation. Madman is a dynamic character who changes and transforms, but Leyli has a static personality. The protagonist of the story is insane, and those around him also play a supporting role. The main deterrent to this story is Leyli's father, and the value object is love, and for this reason the story has found a mystical color and smell.
