A Comparison of the Prototype in Two Romances: Suvashun and Albabol-maftuh

A literary work is some kind of announcing the self-existence، and a woman''s works are considered as continuity of her natural existence as well as an emphasis on her cultural، social، ideological and spiritual aspects. In fact، romance is the arena for introducing a woman''s identity. Prototype is the primary model، which stimulates the writer''s mind in the real life to create a character، and gives her or him the instrument and raw materials for this creation. “Suvashun” is the first Iranian romance written by a woman، Simin Daneshvar، and “Albabol-maftuh” is the first realist romance of the Egyptian woman writer، Latife Azzait. The influence of both writers'' personality is severely sensible in creation of the main heroes of the two romances. This paper aims at proving the prototype (the writer''s character) in personalization of the main heroes of the two romances، and attempts to show artistic similarities and differences of the two Iranian and Egyptian writers in personalization and story writing technology. The method of the research is analytic-descriptive with a comparative approach. The results show that Simin Daneshvar had less intentionally through prototyping for developing the female hero''s personality relative to Latife Azzait.
