Disintegration of Inter-mentality in Dowlatābādi’s Solook

Authors

Abstract

Solook by Mahmood Dowlatābādi is a typical example of a novel to be studied from the perspective of narratology. The main technical concern of the story is representing the mental activities of the protagonist. The third person narrator does his best to show how Qeys, the protagonist, through reviewing his relations with his ex-lover, looks for the causes of disintegraton of his sole inter-mental experience. His interior monologues reveal that Qeys is enthusiastically tempted to know what goes on in the heads of the others. Considering the fact that representation of mental activities can be one of the elements of narratology, the present article intends to follow this mental process in order to represent the disintegration of the mental relations between Qeys and Niloofar from the eyes of the former
