Abstract

In many stories, two factors, i.e. force and deception, helps the progress of the narrative. In those FOLK TALES that good and evil forces are competing to win the beloved, although supposedly the beloved acts in favor of the hero, in narrative infrastructure, with deception, she actually leads the opposition forces in a way that can benefit her. In such FOLK TALES, central character of the story is not the brave hero, neither the vicious monsters; rather it is a beautiful girl who wishes to marry the worthiest hero and have child with him. In this way, despite her apparent physical weakness, the heroine guides the course of the events as she desires using a variety of trickeries such as surreptitious behaviors, feminine charms, magical elements, and even manipulation of the antihero.This paper, using critical opinions about the fundamental structures of the folktales, will study and compare forty Persian FOLK TALES in order to reach at the discussed common infrastructure which indicates the intellectual concerns of the WOMEN in the patriarchal period. The WOMEN narrators or listeners, in fact, have incarnated their wildest DREAMS – DREAMS that in real life they were often deprived of – in the imaginary world of the FOLK TALES. Due to these qualities of the ancient stories and ROMANCES, these tales are probably related to the mythological stories of the MATRIARCHY period.
