Abstract

Introduction: THE STORY OF DAQUQI is one of the relatively short NARRATIVEs of MATHNAVI. It consists of lines 1926 to 2307 of Book Three of MATHNAVI. It is the story of a pious man named Daquqi who travels constantly to see the holy men whom he finally meets on one of his voyages. He talks with them and leads them in prayers. Then he sees a ship drowning in the storm. He prays for the safety of the passengers; God answers his prayers but the holy men leave him as they believe Daquqi's prayers are a sign of protest against God. Daquqi who is constantly traveling sees seven candles that become one and yet again they turn to seven candles. Later they become seven trees in prayer and finally the seven candles turn into seven men who talk to Daquqi and follow him in prayers.This story is analyzed from a structuralist point of view. In this paper it is not treated as a story of mysticism but as a NARRATIVE and discussed based on views of structuralist narratology.Discussion: In analyzing this story it is argued that the text consists of two complete and independent sequences. The first sequence is THE STORY OF DAQUQI's wish to see the holy men and finally finding them; the second sequence, the opposite of the first, is the presence and then the absence of holy men. The first sequence shows a man who never stays in one place but is always on move to find the holy men; he discovers that he is not only one of the holy men but also their leader. So this sequence shows a process of ignorance leading to knowledge.Mowlavi starts the story with an omniscient NARRATOR who introduces Daquqi, describes the physical appearance and behavior of Daquqi, and interprets his ideas and internal feelings. In the middle of this introduction the NARRATOR talks directly with the reader. Continuing the NARRATIVE, the writer changes his point of view and goes on as the third person NARRATOR. There is not any distinction between the three voices of author-narrator-character. As a result the text is monologic.Conclusion: From the syntactic aspect the text has two sequences and several NARRATIVE utterances and the plot follows a logical and chronological order. Sometimes the presence of the author disturbs the unity of the plot and breaks down the narration causing a defect in STRUCTURE. The text is narrated from different points of view. The presence and voice of the author is seen in the text and the text is monologic.
