Abstract:
The novel Her Eyes, the famous work of Bozorg Alavi, is one of the most important Persian novels that deals with the romantic relations between "Makan" and "Farangis" and their political activity in the era of Reza Shah. In this novel, Farangis, despite being a bourgeois, is a revolutionary and devoted woman who saves Master Makan from certain death with her great self-sacrifice.This reading, since its publication, has led left-wing critics to criticize the novel and later to praise it.This article tries to give a new reading of this novel by relying on the principle of "meaning uncertainty" and "the possibility of new interpretations of literary texts" in literary theories such as "hermeneutics" and "poststructuralism" and achieve a new reading of it.A reading that contrasts with the official reading of this novel and introduces Farangis as a shaky revolutionary who, in the most difficult moments of the revolution, betrays Master Makan and the movement and joins the ranks of the enemies of the revolution.The result of the research shows that the novel of Her Eyes, contrary to its apparent meaning, which has led to severe criticism from leftist critics, is inherently faithful to the theory of revolution in the school of Marxism.In our opinion, there are many in-text cues in this novel, on the basis of which a new reading of it can be offered, which is in line with Marxism's theory of revolution.
