An Analysis Of the Intersection Between Emotion and Imagery in Ghazakiat-e-Shams

The image as part of the message is the affect intermediate between the speaker and the audience. Examining the components of the image and its impact on the audience can inform us about the amount of emotion and affection of the poet; The diversity and dynamism of the image leads to its permanence in the minds of the audience and, as a result, conveying more affection. The diversity of the image, on the one hand, shows that the speaker has experienced it with all his senses, and on the other hand, it enables the audience to receive the message with various sensory receptors. In the present paper, we first review the theories related to affection, image, demilitarization, and their interactions with each other and with the audience; Then, a variety of verbal, visual and vocal images, cinematic images, and transformation in the vertical axis of imagination, identification through the image as well as the components of the image, such as verbs, the image of words and colors, and their connection with Rumi’s affection and emotion in Shams' sonnets are investigated.
