Abstract

The House of the Edrisis (Khāne Edrisi-hā) is a novel by Ghazāleh Alizādeh in which vivid descriptions play a prominent role, leading to the creation of poetic elements within the text. Among these elements are imagery, evocation, brevity, musicality, overriding emotions, and stylistic deviance. This study examine the elements of poeticity in The House of the Edrisis using a descriptive-analytical approach. In the novel, imagery is the most prominent poetic element, and the author extensively employs similes and metaphors within the imagery. Alizādeh employs these elements to create suspense in the narrative or pauses in the flow of the story. This delay in the minor aspect of the story creates thought-provoking silence and provides the reader with an opportunity to savor the literary experience.
