Besides beautiful description of affective emotions and love, Vis and Rāmin love story by Fakhruddin As'ad Gurgani includes religious beliefs of pre and post Islamic era. Through the challenge of ardent love of two main protagonists of the story, we encounter some crucial points on importance and necessity of oath and abstinence from its denial. This issue led the writer to analyze this theory of ancient Iran and even the main pillar of Islamic judgments (the oath of the parties and witnesses that their speeches were correct), besides how and why it was used in this poem as a fundamental element, as well as the importance of paying attention and engagement to it. Probably, the key element in the genesis of this love story is the oath of Shahru, the mother of Vis vis –à-vis Monikan priest.

Structuralism is one of the method to analyze the text. Binary oppositions in this approach are considered as foundations. Structural theoreticians believe that the main function of human mind is to create these binary oppositions which are the underlying structure of each culture. In fact, our cultural actions originate from these binary relationship in which lexical contrast and contradictory thought are hidden. By adopting this research methodology, this article investigates Baharestan by Jami; a literary work with social, ethical and mystic thoughts or background whose foundation is based on these binary oppositions. In parallel with explanation of thought and origin of Jami’s stories at the level of deep structure; the authors tries to show these oppositions at the level of surface structure. The main question of this study is that to what extent the reading of Baharestan illuminates its literary value.

In this article, at first, the authors have tried to scrutinize some of the most important attributes of Nima Yushij’s engaged poems in the first decades of 20th and 30th from the view point of extra-linguistic and sociological aspects. Then, in the framework of intra- textual and linguistic essay artistic and literary quality of these poems are evaluated. From the view point of extra-textual approach, descriptive research methodology and content analysis of results show that ideological representation of Nima’s Poem and Tudeh’s Party reading and interpretation of those poems make sense that these poems have been just engaged in this party. The interpreters and critiques of this party have reflected a uniform and concordant atmosphere with their own thoughts in relation to the poems of Nima ideologically. So, Social poems of Nima have been always interpreted with political bias on behalf of dominant discourse. But, in fact, the engagement of Nima has been totally toward the society and left Party not Tudeh’s Party. From the view point of Intra-textual and linguistic approach, Nima has never ignored literary aspect of his poetic work in favor of engaged mottos with directive and referential language. He has applied the technique of semantic foregrounding and symbolism to produce an open text which is devoted to the signification process.
