Abstract: (1304 Views)
This research has been carried out based on an analytical-descriptive method focusing 4391 couplets common among the folklore of Fars province. This study also analyzes the frequencies of the elements including the one who curses, the one who is cursed and the cause of curse. Then, they are analyzed from the statistical point. Finally, the reflection of these elements and gender has been heeded in the field of the folklore culture. The findings of this research indicate that in the poems considered in this study, all the ones who curse are human and half of the beings who are cursed are non- human. This could be as a result of the connection between the curse reaction and human speech against human factors, obstacles, and the projection of guilt on non-humans. In the couplets, the lover has the most reflection (82%) out of the nineteen groups of the ones who curse and the ones who are loved have got 34% of the ones who are cursed. From the gender perspective, women are the ones who are cursed the most. The aim specification of the male oriented society is that men are arrogant and are weak against the obstacles, whereas women are patient and are loyal toward their romantic relationship. Nonetheless, it may reveal the denial of woman's right to complaint. It also confirms the one sidedness of romantic relationship in a male oriented society
