- Abstract
One of the issues which draw attraction in the studies that have been conducted on Mevlana's Mesnevi up to now is that quite rich symbolical language was used in Mesnevi. Mevlana was attracted by the smybolical narration included in various religious and literary works which had been written before him - being Koran in the first place - and tried to express many issues, notably narrations, through symbolical language. Symbolical language and narration is the kind of narration which can be found and referred to nearly at all religions and literature. Although such kind of discourse false/lacking understandings; expressing feelings and thoughts implicitly but not directly, in other words conveying them through some symbolical values enables expressions to be more attractiv and readers to think creatively. This paper is basically composed of three sections. In the first section, based on the meanings of terms such as symbol, allegory, metaphore and figure of speeches, their similarities and differences will be discussed; in the second section it will be expressed through examples that symbolical language or similar usages were used in various religious and literary texts before Mesnevi; in the third and last section some of the symbolical elements of the first 18 couplets of Turkish paraphrase of Mesnevi which were especially emphasized and explained by the commentators will be discussed.
