A reflection on the layers of style in Bidel Dehlavi's patches

Mahmoud Fazilah (Author in Charge), Rahim Paknejad

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Bidel Dehlavi"s Raqat is a collection of his letters to his friends and acquaintances and among the prose works of this Indian style poet, which has received less attention from researchers so far. Considering the importance of the rak"ats, which provide unique details of Biddle"s life events, and taking into account the linguistic and literary dimensions of this work, in the present essay, we try to discuss its most important stylistic features.

METHODOLOGY: The data of the present research has been collected in a library and documentary manner, and the approach of the authors in classifying and examining the research data is descriptive-analytical. First, the most important points and historical and biographical benefits of Bidel"s rakats were extracted, and in the next step, the most prominent stylistic features of this work were described and analyzed with a stylistic reflection on the linguistic, rhetorical, and intellectual layers of Bidel"s rakats.

FINDINGS: Our investigations show that despite the content of Biddle"s letters, which is focused on friendly and everyday issues, the prose of this work is artificial due to the abundance of metaphors and similes and other rhetorical techniques, and intellectually, traces of Biddle"s mystical thoughts are found in the letters. He is obvious.

CONCLUSION: Conclusion: At the linguistic level, Bidel is interested in creating new compositions in the rak"ats, and this point leads to the lateness of his prose. At the literary level, the diversity and multiplicity of distant and difficult metaphors and similes and the successive repetitions make it difficult to understand the themes of the rak"ats. At the intellectual level, Bidel"s mystical thoughts are usually based on the instability of the world and areas of pessimism and despair.
