Abstract

Grotesque is an artistic phenomenon which emerged in sixteenth century in French literature and started a new style in FICTION witting. GROTESQUE is a kind of description about a scene or story in which disparate poles are set together in an unusual, ugly, ridiculous, disgusting, and scary form; they reach adjustment and combine with each other to indicate how much the life has both tragic and comic natures. The most notable characteristics of a GROTESQUE work are: Dissonance, horror and comics, nausea and disgust, physical and mental abnormalities, and strife and conflict. GROTESQUE, as a philosophical mockery of anomaly, is functionally similar to satire. In order to create tragic and comic atmosphere, Sadegh Hedayat has benefited from GROTESQUE components in THE BLIND OWL. The GROTESQUE motifs of this story are probably emanated from the unstable social and political situations in Pahlavi era. The narrator of THE BLIND OWL in both parts of the story suffers from physical and mental abnormalities and speaks about a dark, disgusting and scary atmosphere and kills his beloved because of his own inferiority and complexes. This SURREALISM work is a mixture of observations, sleeping and waking dreams, unusual facts, moving in darkness, approaching the spirit nest and speaking about its ambiguity. The present paper has tried to identify and examine concepts of GROTESQUE and characteristics of SURREALISM school in the story of THE BLIND OWL using a descriptive-analytic approach.
