Abstract: (321 Views) |
Background: The Shahnameh is one of the prominent epic texts in the field of Persian literature, in which, in addition to mentioning war events and heroic deeds, moral issues are also mentioned. The reflection of these teachings is rooted in Iranian culture and Islamic religious texts. Ferdowsi has created the characters of Shahnameh with these main moral sources in mind. The most central epic character in the Shahnameh is Rostam, who can be considered an example of a perfect human being. The purpose of this research is to investigate and analyze the actions of the mentioned character with an approach to his moral traits. The current research method is descriptive-analytical and based on library sources.
Conclusion: It seems that Ferdowsi presented Rostam as an example of a moral human being and some of his moral characteristics such as: "Courage, avoiding greed, reconciliation and peace-seeking, self-sacrificing spirit, avoiding slips and mistakes, avoiding breaking promises" has represented "patriotism". Rostam is not one-dimensional in Pahlavi's Shahnameh and does not simply fight, but combines ethics and intelligence with his fighting power and defends Iranians. Based on these outstanding moral characteristics, we can consider Rostam as one of the identity strains of Iranians. |
