Investigating the structural contrast between the relationship between ugliness and beauty with destruction and orderliness in prominent lyrical poems from the 5th to the 8th century AH based on the approach of Claude Louis-Strauss

Kalileh, Damneh, and Marzbannameh are classical texts of the Persian language. These two, which are written in technical and decorative prose, are written in the style of a story within a story and contain many stories. Considering that the sociological approach is one of the methods of text analysis, in this article, the relationship between social class and women's ethics has been investigated from this point of view. In this article, it is shown that there is a direct relationship between social class and women's corruption or innocence because in the stories of these books, most of the women from the lower social class have low morals and betray their husbands.On the other hand, the women of the upper class of the society, whose husbands have power, wealth, and social influence, in addition to the purity of the face, also have the goodness of character and moral integrity. For this reason, in these works, most of the women are corrupt people such as shoemakers, butchers, weavers, carpenters, etc. The expression of this orientation in the old texts can be derived from the same power, wealth and social influence of the upper class. In fact, the discourse of the powerful has influenced the literature in various ways and has expressed and displayed what was according to the will of the powerful.
