Abstract

Julia Krestova - one of the post-structuralist critics - proposed the theory of pollution and stated that the subject - the artist/literary creator - projects and expresses the pollution and filth of the human soul through the text. Kalileh and Damneh is a very thought-provoking and practical book that contains political and social strategies, the author's main goal is to express principles for a strong and stable governance. This research, in a descriptive-analytical way, intends to explain one of the basic -speech- contaminations of the society in the story of the lion and the cow from the perspective of Kristeva's contamination theory. In this story, the subject - Nasrale Menshi - analyzes the different aspects of this pollution with different anecdotes. Each of the three sides of the speech triangle in this story - Damneh, the lion and the cow - have contaminations, each of which has a share in the process of the occurrence of speech pollution. Greed, trickery, jealousy, fear, haste, revealing one's mind and secrets to others, naivety and excessive trust in others, etc. are among the most important contaminations of the characters involved in the rhetorical triangle.
