Investigating the simile in Zoolali Khansari's

Yadollah Sarmast , Morteza Mazdaraei (Author in Charge), Hossein Yazdani

Abstract

The use of figures of speech is the distinctive characteristic of the poetic expression as it reveals and fabricates the aesthetic vision of the artist and creates a sense of wonder in the reader through defamiliarization. The study of the figures of speech enables the readers to get familiar with the artistic vision of life as depicted in a poet’s works. It is through the use of figures of speech that a poet creates a unique vision and image of life in his/her poetry; this poetic recreation of the world sets a poet apart from mere versifiers.

The present study focuses on the use and the structure of similes in Zolalili Khonsari’s Odes to bring this unique feature of his poetry into spotlight. It must be mentioned here that the use of similes as a major topic of prosody fabricates the idiosyncratic features of a poet’s style.
