Abstract: (138 Views)
In Greimas's narrative model, the deep structure of the narrative construction in actantial structure pattern, propositions, and narrative syntagmes is analyzed to identify the stages of production to get the meaning. Considering the special importance of knowing the mechanisms of making meaning in the narrations of the Holy Quran, the present study examines the narrative system of the story of Prophet Abraham (AS) using the descriptive-analytical method based on the structural model of Greimas. The results show that Greimas’s structural pattern matches the story of Abraham (AS) and such an adaptation with contemporary storytelling theories is one of the miraculous aspects of a book that has been revealed for centuries. It should be noted that sometimes the main character of this story plays different roles of subject, receiver, sender, and even helper. In some situations, there are relationships of contradictions and differences among subjects and one can recognize the structure of the text by understanding these contrasts. Subjects using three syntagmes of contractual, performative, and disjunctive can cover abstract concepts and inanimate objects in addition to characters.
