The relationship between urgency and salvation in dramatic text: a case study of the story of Prophet Yunus

The story of Prophet Yunus in the Qur'an has a different process from the stories of the prophets; Because the narrator tells the story of a people who instead of being destroyed and at the time of the doom descends, they are redeemed, and in an unexpected situation, instead of the oppressor people, their prophet is called to account, and he is ultimately saved by being enclosed in the heart of a whale. This research, with a narratological perspective, has analyzed the story of Prophet Yunus and based on the hierarchal approach and the interpretive perspectives of Shiite interpretations and traditions, the concept of rescue in a critical situation and emergency has been investigated in the story of Prophet Yunus. This story, from the point of view of the concept of salvation and the situation of crisis and emergency, is more than ever the problem of different societies in the age of absence. The results of the research show that as the urgency and critical situation intensify, the action of the character causes more representation of the concept of rescue in the dramatic text. The stories of prophets in general and the story of Prophet Yunus in particular are at the highest level of this urgency and activism, and to the same extent, the concept of salvation in its broadest form appears in these stories.
