Abstract
This article focuses on novels whose narrative cores are events about the Islamic Iran revolution. The research method uses tools that narratology gives to reviewers from the viewpoint of Todorov. Todorov provides a view in narratology, which can compare between different structures. This article tries to detect and analyze the typical pattern between these novels from this viewpoint. Fifteen novels were analyzed, and the result was that a typical pattern existed in some aspects of the narrative structure. The resemblance among structures is the output of social aspects and social cognition of the Islamic Iran revolution, which has shaped the generations in these novels. Revolutionary novels are divided into past and new-generation novels. Past generation novels like “Song of Martyrs” focused on “documentary,” and new generation novels focused on “ artistic structure and form.”
As the time of writing the novels has moved away from 1979, the characteristics of the older generation have faded in the novels, and the characteristics of the new generation have become more prominent. The research results confirmed the initial hypothesis, and pathology and criticism were conducted based on these dominant narrative patterns.
