Recognition and analysis of grotesque manifestations in the stories of the Nezami Haft Peykar

In the stories of Haft Peykar, one can see the most significant components of the grotesque style, such as the feeling of fear, latent ridicule, strange and surprising shapes, ugly adornments adorned with ornaments, and so on. The adaptation of the Haft Peykar narrative section to the grotesque components, especially the grotesque, which the new view of the two critics in this field, namely Kaiser and Bakhtin, reduces its negative aspects and, while changing the conventional standards of beauty, considers this style as a kind of ugly aesthetics, with a significant clarity. In this stories, some physical and mental issues that have been pushed back from human life, along with its ugliness and filth, are portrayed in complex, astonishing, contradictory and unexpected ways.  In this research, while using library and documentary studies and using qualitative analysis method and taking into account Kaiser's view, we have categorized, and analyzed the grotesque category and its index components in Haft-Peykar stories. The findings of the research show that Nezami in these stories has been able, with amazing skill, in the content and form of the work, to show the ugliness and filth in ways close to the characteristics of a grotesque work.
