A Study of Mergan's Character in the Novel "The Vacancy of Salouch" Based on Hrushevsky 's Model

One of the effective models in the analysis of fictional characters is the model provided by Benjamin Hrushevsky. Hrushevsky was one of the theorists who emphasized the network of human relations and believed that text patterns create a complex network of hierarchies. From the structure called the character, he presents a tree-like hierarchical structure in which the semantic characteristics of the characters can be achieved by combining two or more details within a unifying category. This paper seeks to analyze the character of "Mergan" in the novel " The Vacancy of Salouch" by Mahmoud Dovlatabadi based on this model in an analytical-descriptive way, to answer the questions that the character of Mergan in the novel " The Vacancy of Salouch" What are the characteristics of "salouch" and what are the features of these characters based on Hrushevsky 's personality pattern and in which textual contexts are they represented? According to the studies performed in Mergan's character analysis based on the Hrushevsky model; components such as; paradox, repetition, similarity, analogy, equation, and logical implication are principles that influence in the generalization of Mergan's personality behavior and the discovery of his personality traits. Among these principles; the principle of similarity and logical implication are more than any other, they determine Mergan's personality traits and the characteristics of stubbornness, frustration and despair are his most obvious semantic characteristics.
