Abstract

From the beginning, theorists have studied the life of literary works from different perspectives, considering the principle of the existence of literary works and its independent verbal structure. In the meantime, structuralists have paid special attention to the function of components and elements and their organization in the formation of a work, in order to discover similarities and contrasts. Since the understanding of a work of art depends on finding the correct understanding of the words and studying its language system and poetry is a suitable arena for the emergence of these contrasts, to appear through this feature of the poet's thought; This research intends to study the Masnavi of Homad Homayoun Emad Faqih Kermani with the focus on double confrontations by means of qualitative analysis while briefly introducing the eighth century mystic Emad Faqih Kermani. Since the text is a reflection of one's thoughts, by recognizing the contrasts of the text, we find our way to Emad's thought and gain a better understanding of Homayounnameh. The result of this study showed that seven types of opposition (graded, complementary, two-way, directional, lexical, semantic, personality) were seen in Homayounnameh with grammatical forms of nouns, adjectives and verbs. Among these, four contrasts, Shah / Darwish, Shah / poor, Shah / beggar, Shah / servant have the highest frequency in Homayounnameh of Emad Faqih Kermani. . These contrasts reflect Emad's mystical thinking and secularism. It also reflects Emad's mystical-educational view in order to teach the seekers the path of truth through the path. This result is an introduction to show the different capacities of different readings of the text.
