Abstract
The use of historical and mythical characters in poetry that have an ancient background helps poets to convey their feelings and thoughts more easily to the reader. On the other hand, the reader can better understand the meaning by understanding the similarities between the historical characters used in the poem and the meaning desired by the poet. In this article, we intend to examine the new themes in the works of Alireza Ghazveh using the technique of calling characters.
In this article, first, the heritage characters in Qazveh’s book are examined, then, the type of heritage, the poet's purpose, and the function of those heritage characters will be examined.
Heritage characters have a significant presence in the poems of Alireza Qazveh. Ghazwa sometimes conveyed meaning by them, sometimes addressed them, and sometimes interfered with their characteristics. In general, there are 17 heritage characters in Eshqhe Alaihes-Salam by Qazveh. These characters can be divided into three categories: religious, historical and mythical. Meanwhile, the frequency of mythical characters was lower than that of religious and historical figures. The poet also communicates with these characters in two ways; first, the expression of heritage; i.e., using them without interfering with their personality dimensions or characteristics. Second, the recreation of them. These characters have some functions in Qazveh's poems. Describing, depicting, expanding the meaning along with brevity, depicting the condition of martyrs and veterans, criticizing the current situation of Muslims and the Islamic world and recalling the past glory of Muslims are among the functions of heritage characters in Alireza Qazveh's poetry.
The results of this research could be effective in the new reading of Qazveh's works. It can also give a deeper understanding of his work.
