Abstract

Beloved in Persian literature often has an Iranian identity and the signs of the beauty of his body are derived from Iranian aesthetic. other types of beloveds in the geography of Persian literature are non-Iranian which may be Arabic, Indian, Turkish, or Frankish. these are interpreted as other. Part of the process of our understanding of the "other" in relation to "ourselves" is the result of body awareness and bodily perceptions whether a natural body or a cultural body. many researches whose subject is the examination of the image of the beloved in Persian literature none of them have addressed what and how it is a type of love. The main question was who is Frankish beloved? And how is it represented in Persian literature? This question brings other questions that we will address in the article. The findings show that the image of a Frankish beloved is not different from an Iranian beloved and the same codes and signs of body beauty that an Iranian beloved has are also used for a Persian Beloved. In addition, the most common form of love interest is in the branch of poetry and especially the sub-genre of the romantic lyric.
