Abstract :
Haft Lashkar, (/hæft læ∫kær/: The Seven Corps) is one of the instances of “Comprehensive Scroll of Rhapsodists” during the Qajar dynasty which has been written by an anonymous rhapsodist in 1292 (Lunar Hijri) (1875 A.D). Haft Lashkar has originally been the name of one of the famous rhapsodic battle- narratives which was chosen as the title of one of the scrolls of Comprehensive Scroll of Rhapsodists due to its fame and prevalence. The narrative aspect of the text creates relation and connection between literature and drama. This type of storytelling that involves drama and playing the roles of different characters by the narrator, and imitating their manners and moves has led the storytelling towards a kind of dramatic narrative which is called “Dramatic Storytelling”. Meanwhile, although the rhapsodist has considered using the old narrations as a model, his subjective and structural manipulations add a dramatic feature to the text. Thus, because of the dramatic capacity of the scrolls, in this article the dramatic structure of the Comprehensive Scroll is studied. First, by defining the structure of dramatic play and identifying the differences between this structure and the narrative structure in this scroll, a specific model is introduced and explained. Eventually, applying Bart’s structural model of “episode” as involute events, the results of this research, has led us to the “narration-through-narration” event-oriented drama structure, which is different from the climatic drama in the Comprehensive Scroll of Rhapsodists, which has been illustrated in a table and a drama- narrative graph. The dramatic basis of this kind of narration has been revealed through action enhancement as well as increasing interaction between especial roles in the main narration in the form of an event-oriented drama. some suspense features resulted from this type of drama structure are: Using convergent events and developing the depth of the drama, and audience’s focus on the state of the events during the drama instead of concentrating on its ending. .
