Abstract

One of the approaches to recognize the classical literature is to examine narrative texts based on narrative discourse systems. This essay aims to investigate the process of narrating One Thousand and One Nights by applying existential and stative discursive systems. This analysis has indicated that the creation of new meaning with presence of the narrator, Shahrzad, occurred in the critical situation and semantic deficiency of Shariyar, which was developed by diminution of his life. This narrator attempted to change the destructive and disordered world of Shariyar into the new semantic transcendence of his presence by injecting the energy of narration and discourse along with disconnection of the object of revenge and connection to the valuable object. People's lives are organized and rearranged in an irreversible way via narratives and anecdotes. Narratives have ascended our perception of the world and donated the new meaning to our lives.
