An Analytical study of the Plot of Yousef's Story in Qur'an with Emphasis on Larivey's Plot Theory

"Plot” is one of the main elements of stories and the most important assessment criteria of aestheticism in an anecdotal work. The holy Qur’an is full of narratives whose belletristic could be assessed on the basis of modern yardsticks. In this research, the plot of Yousef’s story has been studied and analyzed based on Larivey’s theory.Among the specialized features of the plot of the proposed story, one can point to aspects such as the exact management and the suitable selection of information, the creation of paradox and the gradual abeyance in the least voluminous text, congruence of actions and unity of incidences, and homogeneity in the narrative with respect to occurrences.
