Building on Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of the chronotope as the intrinsic connectedness of temporal and spatial relationships in literature, this research examines how these chronotopes contribute to genre-specific atmospheric and poietic effects in the novel. Specifically, the analysis focuses on the primary chronotope of the ruins and wreckage as a symbolic space that reflects a nostalgic and ultimately futile attempt to revive the past in the present. Employing a qualitative and interpretive methodology, the study reveals that the Romantic-Gothic character of the narrative is deeply intertwined with the selection of this chronotope as the locus of the story. Secondary chronotopes, such as cemeteries and thresholds, and their interrelations with principal narrative elements like characters and events further corroborate the findings. This multifaceted exploration highlights the central role of&nbsp; the ruins and wreckage chronotope in shaping the thematic and aesthetic dimensions of the novel.</p>http://literature.ihss.ac.ir/Article/50567Keywords Bakhtin time-space continuum chronotope Romanticism *The Blind Owl*.perInstitute of Humanities and Social Studiesپژوهش زبان و ادبیات فارسی1735-10302821-03952024-02179articlesaeid bozorg bigdelibozorghs@modares.ac.ir1sara hosseinisarahoseini1403av@gmail.com2Department of Persian Language and Literature, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran<p>In human history, boredom with the current situation and the desire to achieve a desirable state have caused humans to need a savior. In different religions and sects, saviors will appear under different names, in different forms, and at different historical points, and they will strive to free humanity from suffering and adversity and lead it towards ideal conditions. In literary works, as a result of human perception of the appearance of the Savior in real life, literary works have emerged that create an image of the Savior. In contemporary Persian poetry, from the mid-1940s to the early 1950s, three poems were written and published: Arash Kamangir by Siavash Kasraei, Morgh Amin by Nima Youshij, and Someone Like No One by Forough Farrokhzad. In the present study, the three aforementioned works have been examined from ten aspects, and their similarities and differences have been examined and analyzed. The results of this study show that the poems of Arash Kamangir, Morgh Amin, and Someone Who Is Like No Other, despite the differences in the perspectives of their poets, in most cases present a consistent and identical image of the Savior.</p>http://literature.ihss.ac.ir/Article/51981 savior Contemporary Persian Poetry Siavash Kasraei Nima Youshij Forough Farrokhzad
