Abstract
In this article, four anecdotes i.e. Siyavush and Sodabeh from Persian literature, Konaleh and Tishirak Tshita from Scythian literature, Yousef and Zulekha from Semitic literature and Phedre and Hippolyte from western literature selected and have been studied based on the content analysis of Todorov. In all these four anecdotes, actual and incidental circumstances and proposition can be reached in the similar fashion. In other words, all peripheral incidents show three personalities and in each of these anecdotes, queen falls in love with a boy but the boy remains faithful to the king, uncovers woman’s love and charged with and at last, the fact is revealed. The propositions of these stories emerge identical with the situation, traction and adjective. With reference to the viewpoints of Todorov, existence of five-dimensional aspects i.e. predictive, prerequisite, supplicating, conditional and foresighted have been studied in these four stories and these matters emphasize more on the similarity of permissible structure of the stories.
 

Keywords: Theory of Todorov, Structural Criticism, Comparative Literature, Story of Siyavush and Sodabeh, Story of Konaleh and Tishirak Tshita, Story of Yousef and Zulekha, Story of Pherde and Hippolyte
