Abstract: (160 Views)
Designing the beginning of a short story is difficult and requires great precision, given the size of the story and the limited time the author has to process it and engage the reader. On the other hand, analyzing and especially determining the boundaries of the beginning of a short story requires more precision and delicacy than a novel or a long story. Therefore, the author's goal in this study is to use a descriptive-analytical method to determine the boundaries of the beginning of 224 short stories by eight famous writers of Persian literature before the Islamic Revolution, and in the next step, to determine the mechanisms of the writers in the field of beginning and ending the beginning of stories and also to examine their skills in this field. The results show that the prominent short story writers of Persian literature have had a special view of the combined beginning and then the setting and characterization. Beginnings independent of the body of the story (irrelevant) and half-scenes are among the mechanisms that have rarely been used by them. In terms of how to end the beginning, they have also widely used the method of detailing the story, drawing the attention of the main character to something, the entry of the main/new character into a new scene or place, and the conversation and encounters of the characters with each other. In addition, most of their beginnings and endings are designed with sophisticated and skillful techniques and indicate the reader to other parts of the story and connect to the middle part of the story without drawing his attention.
Keywords: Today's short story, Today's short story beginning, today's story beginning mechanisms, Ending Beginning of today's story.
