As a Russian theorist, philosopher, and writer, Mikhail Bakhtin and his concepts of Dialogism and Novelistic Discourse (1895-1975) have exceptional value and credibility in literary studies. Bakhtin devaluates poetry and poetic genres (epic, tragedy, and lyrical) while simultaneously valorizing novelistic discourse. His conceptualization of the novel does not match most of the standard definitions, and its examples, in this regard, include novels from Greece and Dostoyevsky's works. From Bakhtin’s point of view, the novel denies the absolutism of a single and unitary language. Drawing primarily on the Bakhtinian binary monophony/polyphony from his Novelistic Discourse Theory, we, in this study, aim to examine three contemporary Persian novels, namely Hedayat’s ‘Boof-e-Koor’ also known as ‘The Blind Owl,’ Bahram Sadeghi’s ‘Malakut,’ and Hooshang Golshiri’s 'Shazdeh Ehtejab' also known as 'Prince Ehtejab’. A descriptive-analytical approach was adopted for data analysis. The findings indicate that these novels, despite having some features of a polyphonic novel, are still more inclined towards monophony. This was found to be the case because they mostly rely on a single central idea, and the hero in these works has not reached the desired self-consciousness. Despite his self-consciousness, the hero or narrator of the ‘Boof-e-Koor’ does not allow the presence of other ideas and heroes. The ‘Malakut’ gets closer to the polyphonic novel in a way but is more or less a novel of ideas or a philosophical one. Furthermore, the 'Shazdeh Ehtejab,’ despite employing an innovative point of view, is still tilted towards monophony due to its single central idea.
