Abstract

The works written during the eight-year Holy Defense can be discussed in two ways: the material which is characterized by excruciating pain and loss; and the spiritual which is characterized by the rise of self-esteem and confidence. Human beings have a collective and historical identity. Modern man whose insight and manners are formed on such a historical and collective identity sees his future through the eyes of his ancestors. Stories are one of the most important literary genres through which favorable and unfavorable memories can be perpetuated in the mind of contemporary and future generations. In order to have a coherent narrative, all elements or the constituents of the structure need to interact with one another and have a harmonic relation with the content. The present research aims to investigate this relation in selected Holy Defense stories, focusing on a set of elements that enable the researchers to have a common, meaningful idea in the selected works. To this end, three novels including Ahmad Dehqan’s Journey to Heading 270 Degrees, Esmail Fasih’s Winter 62 and Ahmad Mahmoud’s The Scorched Earth have been analyzed. The result of the study shows that the structures of these prominent works serve the consolidation of their themes which contain the long-standing history of our country, namely the destruction of cities, the massacre of innocent people, the resistance of our brave nation against oppressors, and finally victory over the nefarious enemy. This study applies content analysis as the methodology using available sources.
