A New Look at the Status of Women in the Persian Literature with focus on Ferdowsi and Nezamiʹs Narration of Khosrow and Shirin Story

To study the condition of women in the Persian literature, because of various literary words and different views of poets to women, at first step it is necessary to separate the various roles of women in the works of poets. Often these roles could be summarized in to two characters :the wife and a lover with the lover role being more notable. Even though the view of poetes to women as a lover is almost similar, sometimes there a big difference in the condition of women between one lyric poet with another. Most of the time, the different is related to the situation in which the poem was written. The status of Shirin in "Khosrow and Shirin" poem with the status of Leili in "Leili and Majnoon" poem is a case in point. Another reason is the wealth and political status of Shirin in comparison with Leiliʹs. Sometimes there is adifferent look at women even in one story .For example there are differences between Ferdowsi and Nezami about Shirin in "Khosrow and Shirin" story. The present paper attempts to investigate the status of women in the Persian literature with focus on Fordowsi and Nezamiʹs narration of Khosrow and Shirin.
