Abstract

The different  worlds in physics are called as "parallel worlds" and in narratology as "possible worlds" provide a cognitive model of narrative in which the "real world" is surrounded by "unreal possible worlds" that are at different distances and they are different from the real world. In this research, the novel Parisa by Fereshteh Sari was investigated with the descriptive-analytical research method and the following results were obtained: In terms of narrative, the story is a representation of two worlds inside fantasy and reality, which can be investigated by relying on concepts such as: the principle of uncertainty, the fluidity of time, choice, and the issue of ontology. Parisa's novel is based on the division of multi-universal, fantasy and scientific narrative. The journey of its characters to other worlds has been one-way and without return. The topic of traveling and transferring information to other planets was a leading scientific topic at the time of writing the novel. In terms of form, the novel is written as a mirror text.
