Morphological Criticism of “Kashf-ol-Mahjoob” and “Tazkerat-ol-Ouliya” Tales

The morphological analysis of about 200 mystical narratives from the valuable Persian books – Kashf-ol-Mahjoob and Tazkerat-ol-Ouliya – revealed that within the particular field of mystical narratives, generosity possesses a prominent position in the climax of the story; while it is also more faithful to the meaning compared to other genres. At the same time though these unique roles face more limitation, they enjoy more variety as well. The only factor for similarity is due to the position of their functions; like the position of codes in an allocated space considering the turning point of the tale. Therefore Propp’s theory fits in the semiotic domain. Through this research three actions were realized; though the number of functions reached eleven. Some of these are similar to those functions in folktales, while some of the others are new as in the mystical tales.
