| Summary: | According to intertextuality approach, there is no self-sufficient text; but every text is intertextually related to its previous and following ones. In this study, first, different aspects of text and intertextuality were described, then, the Story of ‘The Jewish King who killed the Christians because of prejudice’ from Masnavi was analyzed from an intertextual perspective. As the proponents of intertextuality believe that there is no original text, the results of this study also showed that this story of Masnavi is a reflection of its earlier stories such as ‘Shaghad and Rostam’ from Shahnameh, ‘Jazymat olabrsh’ from Balami's History, ‘Firouz, the king of Iran and Hytalyan’ from Tabari's History and ‘The owl and the crow’ from Kalileh and Demneh. In all of these five stories, there is enmity between two nations and one of the king's followers asks the king to beat him in front of people. The beat person succeeds to gain the enemy’s trust and finally defeat them hard. |
