Abstract

In this article, using descriptive-analytical method, poetic images of two novels "Nakhlhaye Bisar" and "Golab Khanum" by Qasem Ali Frasat have been extracted. The current research sought to answer the question whether the investigating of imaginary images in these two novels can reveal the bases governing them and their differences. In the similes of "Gulab Khanum", the conceptual bases of describing beauty, the moods of Musa and Gulab, and the love and warmth between them have the highest frequency. Numerous anthropomorphisms in "Nakhlhaye Bisar" are based on the symbols of places, events, objects and virtual persons, and the symbols of recognition in "Gulab Khanom" include objects that are full of lyrical concepts. The symbols of the sun, moon, water and tree give the "Nakhlhaye Bisar" trees depth of thought, and in "Gulab Khanum", the female character is considered as a symbol of sacrifice. The leitmotif of the first novel is the palm tree as a symbol of resistance and martyrdom, and in the second novel, it is love and embrace. In "Nakhlhaye Bisar", Frasat highlighted the Khorramshahr motif by using the device of recognition and emphasized the epic and vitality of the fighters in the first years of the war, while in the novel "Gulab Khanom", which was written years later, he retreated from humanism and relied on lyrical similes, he has put ointment on the wounds of war-weary warriors who were caught by the unkindness of the society and called them to a normal and everyday life.
