Abstract

This research is based on the fact that a message transmitter can communicate with several levels of receivers by using language devices, one of the methods is the use of symbols in the realistic context of the text, which is referred to as symbolic realism. In order to achieve this goal, two fictional works by Simin Daneshvar, "Wandering Island" and " Wandering Sarban ", which can be analyzed as research samples, were selected. In this research, the method of text analysis was used. The findings of the research are as follows: the most frequent parts of the text from the point of view of the connection between symbols and reality in the formation of the secondary message are words, combinations, descriptions and characterization in the texts, and they are the most used in social and political issues; Also, by using this method, Daneshvar has been able to send different messages to his readers in a single text, both general readers and special readers who have the same password or close to him. This research shows that Daneshvar has simultaneously used two direct methods in the form of realism and linguistic structure and indirect methods in the form of symbols and implied meanings to express the human, social and political realities of his contemporary period, and to receive the message, according to the type The audience has placed the codes and symbols within the text in relation to external realities. The use of this method, while meeting the desired goals, has increased the enjoyment of the text and has also reflected the closed and limited space governing the text and in the text.
