Abstract

Introduction: Maqamah (or moqamah) is an old story in prose interspersed with poetry about an anonymous hero who is involved in some events. Towards the end of the story he disappears to show up in another guise in the next maqama. So maqamat is a collection of separate stories with unity in subject. HARIRI'S MAQAMAT is one of the outstanding literary works of Arabic literature written in the fifth century A. H. Hamid al-Din Balkhi (d. 599 A.H.) created the only Persian Maqamat (Hamidi's Maqamat) in the sixth century A.H. This study is the first comparative study of these two works with regards to the use of dialogue. It is a close study of how dialogues are used in these works and which one is more appealing to the reader. The analysis of the dialogues covers three aspects: how they give variety to the structure and content of the story; how they represent the inner feelings and characteristics of the characters; the way they help to develop and further the plot.Discussion: Dialogues comprise more than half the content of Hariri's Maqamat, the other half is a description of other elements. His dialogues are short and give a realistic picture of how people behave. HAMIDI'S MAQAMAT has less dialogues as it is devoted to long parts of descriptive passages so that sometimes a character speaks only once in the story.In HARIRI'S MAQAMAT the two characters of all stories are first introduced as Abuzeid and Hares in the first maqamah and the subject is always about the begging and cunning of the first character. Hares, the narrator, who is forced to travel due to hard times, is charmed by Abuzeid who appears in a different guise each time deceiving people and getting money from them. The cunning Abuzeid finally turns into an old pious man and Abuzeid sees him among the mystics at the end of the story. In HAMIDI'S MAQAMAT most stories have two characters. The major character appears in the guise of a mystic or a jurisprudent or a wise old man who tells some elegant words in a gathering and suddenly disappears. The second character is the nameless narrator who starts each maqamah with: "I was told by a friend …." The subject is about education. Conclusion: It can be summed up that Hariri has used more dialogue in his stories making the tales more realistic and convincing. He seems to be more aware of how the reader may react to the text. The complexity of the characters in his work is outstanding while in Hamidi's work this is not so. There are several types of dialogue in Hariri's Maqamat: sometimes Abuzeid is addressing the audience and his monologue turns into a lecture but at the same time it shows his dexterity in speech. The other type of dialogue is a question and answer in which a member of the audience asks Abuzeid a question or vice versa. Sometimes the dialogue is between Abuzeid and Hares which is very much like a modern day conversation. The same types of dialogue are present in HAMIDI'S MAQAMAT; however, the monologues are longer and look like sermons and it is at the end that the reader notices that there are other characters present. Thus the characters are not vividly presented. There are also question and answer type conversations usually between two people only. There are a few cases of short dialogues like modern conversations. Thus it is HARIRI'S MAQAMAT which is more successful in dealing with the reader.
