Abstract

Persian literature, with its rich background in lyrical literature, has created unique patterns and metaphors for expressing love, which have been widely utilized in both popular and serious literature. This research aims to identify the similarities and differences in the representation of love in adolescent novels. The study seeks to uncover the "narrative frameworks" that influence the romantic elements in these novels. Instead of focusing on the visible elements of the story, this study emphasizes the invisible and underlying layers that underpin the representation of love in these works. The research demonstrates that these narrative frameworks, as textual conditions, play a crucial role in shaping and evolving romantic elements, and their changes can also influence other narrative frameworks. Ten realist novels published between 1978 and 2021 have been examined in this research, while other genres, such as fantastic stories or short stories, have been excluded from this study.
