Social Contexts Analysis Of Banugoshasp`S Story In Oral Epics

The purpose of the present research was to analyze the social context of the Banugoshasp's story in oral epics. Rostam's daughter-in-law, Banoghoshasp, is one of the oldest epic narratives in Iran, which, in addition to the Banugoshasp-name, has also led Persian folk literature and epics. The present study aimed to use the descriptive-analytical method to adapt the oral and classical epic of the story based on the development of the heroine personality. The results of this research indicated that, despite the ancient version of the poetic narrative, oral epics preserved more parts of the Banugoshasp-name or fostered its void. The will of the general audiences and their satisfaction, the increase of lyrical materials and the elements of myth and magic and the spiritual elements of folklore are among the differences of oral texts. The pattern of empowering heroine in their resemblance to men, which is the product of patriarchal culture, is the most important part of the heroine pattern in the Banugoshasp-name, which is more pronounced in oral epics due to the existing gap from the dominating culture of the elite class, the women's character of Banugoshasp's personality was underlined.
