Shahryar's model between Construction and employment:
A morphological study of the story “Banners of Longing” of Mona Salama


Abstract:
This study analyses the story “Banners of Longing” by Mona Salama using the morphological method founded by Vladimir Propp. This analysis focuses on the functions of characters, so it had divided the story into parts, and then studied their internal relations, which constitute one whole structure.
The study aims to highlight the original Shahryar`s model of “One Thousand and One Nights” and the contemporary Shahryar`s model employed in “Banners of Longing”, determining the similarities and differences between them.
It also shows how Shahryar's model of “One Thousand and One Nights” overcame the time that it had appeared at, and the language in which it has depicted; to be renewed in the modern era, affected by its social and cultural factors, and divided into four contemporary models: the traitor Shahryar, the perfectionist Shahryar, the paranoid Shahryar and the narrator Shahryar.
Keywords: morphological analysis - Banners of Longing - Shahryar`s model - contemporary Scheherazade - contemporary Dunyazad.
