An Analysis of the Structure of Resistance Literature in Educational and Resistance Genres

Resistance literature has a history as long as human settlement on Earth, and resistance to the rebellious soul in the first Persian poems, which has appeared in the form of educational literature, is a form of resistance literature. The ancient literature of resistance, which is manifested in the form of educational literature, depicts the stability of man against the soul (internal enemy) and has its own narrative grammar (poetic structure), but the concept of resistance over time and based on the situation of human beings and their resistance against the invading foreign enemies is manifested in another genre called resistance literature with a different structure, so that elements such as temporal position, audience position, type of genre, etc. have been involved in the formation of these two structures. The present study has been done in a descriptive-analytical manner, using library resources to examine the effective narrative elements in the evolution of the structure of resistance literature in both educational and resistance genres. The results of the present study has shown that although the concept of resistance literature in both perspectives -old and new- means endurance, but elements such as: 'position of the narrator', 'type of enemy', 'concept of message', 'position of time', 'different themes' and 'type of genre' have created differences in the formation and separation of the structure of resistance literature in the two genres.
