The Analysis of the Short Story "Love" by Ismail Fasih and its Adaptation to the Tableau of French Painter Gustav Curbe

One of the characteristics of comparative literature is the possibility to study literary work from a cross-sectional perspective. Thus, a literary work such as Short Story can be adapted to a visual work such as painting and we can analyze them in a specific framework. One of these frameworks is the comparison of two works based on artistic-literary schools. Ismail Fasih (1313-1388) is one of the most prolific writers of contemporary Persian literature that is the result of about forty years of his writing is twenty-five novels and four short story collections. "Love" is one of the stories of the second short story collection, “The Birth / Love / Marriage / Death” (1351), is realistic like most his stories that the author focuses on those characters from among the underdogs of the community and He speaks in them of poverty, disease, ignorance, superstition and death. He also reminds the artist of the need to address this stratum of society. This story is in some ways similar to the famous banners “A Burial at Ornans” by French painter Gustave Curbe who founded the literary school of realism. In this short story research, Love is analyzed in the framework of the rules of the school of realism and its common themes are also mentioned with the Gustave Curbé tableau.
