Three Drops of Blood is one of the short stories of Sadiq Hedayat that has a surrealist and symbolic structure and it somewhat included the author's coordinates. Since the perception of the central concept of this story is somewhat difficult, it has always been accompanied by different interpretations and criticisms. According to many critics the style of this story is the full-fledged style of a particular storytelling of Hedayat. Hedayat uses an unusual and specific plot to make mysterious and symbolic story that challenges the reader's understanding of the meaning of the text and makes it hard to understand the meaning of it, and sometimes to doubt it. In other words, what has made the story style different from other realist stories is the use of a complex and unusual plot that has concealed the meaning of the text in several layers so that the reader cannot easily understand the central meaning of the story. In fact, by using a plot that is more based on association, repetition, and displacement and ambiguity Hedayat has made an irregular structure and anecdotal narrative about unrelated events in the story that has left out the critics' hands in different ways from its meaning forever. In this paper, the author attempts to use the method of study and analysis to elucidate the specific style of Hedayat's plot in this modern short story and to analyze the intellectual coordinates that is involved in the plot of the story in order to show the relationship between this type of plot with story content.

The concept of Grotesque which was limited to popular antique paintings at the beginning of the sixteenth century in Italy, expanded its meaning with the introduction of eighteenth-century aesthetics (its association with the caricature as well) and tended toward ridiculous and fantastic elements along with frightening and disgusting aspects.

Investigating the elements present in “ Fear” novel in this study by library method revealed that this narrative work, a precursor in form and content, through combining Grottic elements narrates a terrifying atmosphere that has been employed in a feminine story for the first time and has achieved the functional goals of the Grotesque writings.

Each branch of knowledge has its own criteria and methods through which science is measured and examined. Speech elegance measurement parameter in Persian literature is Persian rhetoric. Speech rhetoric leads to comfort or discomfort of listener or reader, as such that it urges them to do something that speaker wishes or prevents from doing an affair. Therefore, effective speech needs rhetoric and eloquence. Speech eloquence will be effective when singular eloquence is free from defects. Some recent speakers following rhetoric and eloquence of Arabic literature have considered repeated additions and frequency as speech faults and disruptive eloquence. But some skilled ones in rhetoric based on difference between Persian and Arabic rhetoric rules believe that mentioned cases are not rhetorically disruptive factors, but they are effective factors of Persian rhetoric. In this paper, we address and analyze the flaws of traditional rhetoric from language role point of view, mood requirement observation, excessive Arabisation, comparison with Persian eloquence and Persian rhetoric different criteria in four entries with examples and evidences, context neglect, understanding traditional rhetoric of imagination, lack of research on literary texts, teaching of rhetoric science, lack of attention to stress and speech tone.

Islamic mysticism, have taken deep-seated concepts such as the material life, the dignity of man in the universe and, ultimately, his universal life. Existentialism is considered attention to individuality, the status of existence, freedom, ethics and responsibility, are based on the unity of man. In this regard, Sana'i Ghaznavispoke in his work, "Hadiqeh al-Haqiqa", according to the position of man in the context of the mystical thought around it, and Sartre in his fiction "nausea" has been devoted to examining the status of man in the realm of being. This research attempts to make a comparative study of the position of man in the two worldviews on the basis of the works discussed. These findings suggest that, despite the fundamental differences in thought, human standing in both high and precious intellectual schools, as well as the one in existence, is discussed. Both schools of thought invoke him for the sake of human excellence and the transcendence of existential existence. Sanei seeks to achieve this goal in the mystical drive and follow the Shari'a and Sartre in the Nouveau novel, which he considers to be transcendental affairs, including the creation of art or the participation in the writing process
