Abstract
We will answer the question; “what is the ‘action pattern’ in the story plot of “Gonbade-Pirooze” and what does this pattern imply and demonstrate?” through the analysis of the plot in narrative theories. Through this structural research we will recognize men’s mind once he is creating a mystical narrative. Theodore and Grimace’s methods have been used for the analysis of this narrative. The basic principle in Theodore’s method is the identification of the pattern of fictional actions and the inscription of the principal theme. With the identification of these two factors, it is verified that the process of development and establishment of fictional actions in Mahan’s story corresponds with Hobot’s story and the main motif is identical. For proving this the sameness, Grimace’s method is used; which is based on reciprocal fictional pairs, in addition to the pattern of actors (characters); while in this way the correspondence and parallelism of the characters of these two stories is shown.
Considering the available evidence, it can be concluded that Mahan’s story lies in the category of mystical stories; while it has roots in the story of Hobot.
