Narrative Function of the Metanarrator in the Story "Adam"

This is a scholarly article that analyzes the narrative of the story of Adam as it appears in a work called Qesseha-ye Quran (Stories of the Quran). The article examines how meaning is produced within this narrative by applying two theoretical frameworks: the narratological method of Lintvelt, used to identify the different levels of the story including its abstract and concrete dimensions, the hyper-narrator, narrator, actors, and audience; and the semio-semantic method of Greimas, used to investigate how meaning is generated through the discourse.
