Abstract: (369 Views)
In Greimas narrative model, the basic structure of narrative construction in the form of action pattern, propositions and narrative chains is analyzed in order to identify the stages of production to receive meaning. Considering that the knowledge of the mechanisms of meaning production in the narrations of the Holy Quran is of special importance, the focus of the current study is to determine the degree to which the Grimas pattern aligns with the verses of this revered Surah. To achieve this objective, the narrative framework of the story of Prophet Abraham (PBUH) has been examined through a descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing Grimas's structural model. The results show that Greimas’s structural pattern matches the story, and such a comparison with contemporary storytelling theories is one of the miraculous aspects of a book which has been revealed for centuries. Another noteworthy point is that sometimes the main character of the story plays different roles of subject, receiver, sender and even helper. In some situations, there are relationships of contradictions and differences between subjects. It is in the shadow of understanding these contrasts that one can understand the structure of the text and through using three syntagmes of contractual, performative, and disjunctive can covers abstract concepts and inanimate objects in addition to characters.
