Abstract

The folk tales and legends of every nation are full of wonderful events that, by reflecting on them, can reveal the thoughts and beliefs that are rooted in the conscious and subconscious of man.Identifying these ideas and beliefs is a way to better understand the literary and cultural works and, as a result, the growth and permanence of a nation’s linguistic, literary and cultural heritage.One of the most accurate methods of classifying and analyzing the structure and format of stories is Propp’s morphological pattern. With this model, Propp concludes that stories, despite their diversity, have a kind of structural unity.The book “Culture of the Legends of the Iranian People” has been compiled by Ali Ashraf Darvishian and Reza Khandan. The two stories discussed in this article; “King Glim Gosh” and “The King and His Seven Sons” have been selected from that collection.By designing and explaining the narrative structure of fairy tales, Prop believes that stories, while diverse, are united in terms of the diversity of heroic characters and their performance.. The movements of the stories follow each other directly. The story of King Glim is composed of six movements and the story of the king and his seven sons is structured in three movements. Therefore, the mentioned stories correspond to the model of Propp’s analysis and analysis in terms of the course of the story, their characters and actions, as well as the mentioned rituals.
