A Study of the Two Characters in Veis-o-Rāmin Following the Model of " Hero's Journey"

One of the remarkable findings of mythological theories is discovering applicable contexts for comparing mythic/non-mythic characters. Joseph Campbell’s model of “Hero’s Journey” is the one to be applied to the modern literary and cinematic characters. The present article, through taking benefit of this model, tries to analyze the two characters of Veis-o-Rāmin. The goal of this research is introducing the model of “Hero’s journey” from one side, and opening a new window to Veis-o-Rāmin from the other side. The body of the paper, by focusing on “The External Journey” (Destiny) and “The Internal Journey” (Love), concludes that while the story emphasizes more on the function of internal journey, it considers Veis as the protagonist.
