Retroactive reading of poem “Ibrahim in Fire” of Shamloo with an emphasis on the commentary by Michael Riffaterre
Abstract
The aim of this research is examination the poetry "Ibrahim in Fire" of Shamloo according to the Riffaterre theory. This is an analytical-comparative research that was conducted using content analysis. The results showed that according to the structural matrix of the poetry, the poet's hidden object to express freedom-seeking and struggle and, more importantly, inviting the audience for uprising, has been pointed out, and the poet, in repression of that era, has had no way to express his ideal but the use of mythical allusions and allusive references to them.
