Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Haft Orang of Jami and his three divans are full of allegories or allegorical stories. Allegory, whether short or long, has a narrative structure. In this research we have analyzed the position of allegory in the poems of Haft Orang Jami and his three divans in in terms of quantity and quality of allegories and their advantages, innovations and disadvantages. We have also examined six allegories of different types in terms of forms and content. In formal analysis, the type of allegory in terms of number of verses and animal or non-animal character, syntactic abstract, specialization and description and in content analysis, the background verses prepare the audience"s mind, desire (story character desire), obligation (law), we have dealt with the treatment of desire and obligation and the message of allegory

METHODOLOGY: the present research has been done in a descriptive- analytical manner using library sources, and the study area is Haft Orang Jami and his three divans

FINDINGS: formal analysis of these allegories, the multiplicity of verses, the variety of subjects, accurate and expressive descriptions and their content analysis, by addressing the desired quality of conveying the message, explains, Jami"s mystical view

CONCLUSION: Jami has used illustration and atmosphere to describe the characters of the story and its credibility to the audience and introduction to accept the story and message in the mind of the audience. Desire and obligation in the structure of allegories also play an important role in the formation and development of the story and conveying the message of allegory. The opposition of obligation to ill-considered desire is seen in most allegories, and of course sometimes the right and logical desire is in the same direction as obligation, and it is obtained that this expresses Jami"s mystical view and his order to be satisfied with his contentment and to know his limits and to deny extravagance and greed.
