SOOVRShoon is one of the greatest Persian classic novels which owes this reputation to Daneshvar' s artistic creation of the characters, characters which turn to the pulse of the narration to the point that it is not a lofty claim to assert that the novel is a character-based novel rather than an episodic or even plot-based novel: in other words, the actions are at the disposal of character development and thus contribute to the delineation of the major character's growth. Therefore, to analyze those actions which form and determine the movement of every actant or agent;. a systematic theory like Greimas' model can be helpful and illuminating. Greimas, the founder of French branch of Semiotics, proposes a new and systematic model for the analysis of the fictional characters. In a deductive approach, Greimas presents some elements as actants and defines or fits numerous fictional characters within six binary semantic elements. His plain but systematic model reveals the underlying substructure of the narration to the point that even a reader familiar with the novel is startled to discover that Yusef is not the only hero of the story and in some cases he is turned into an anti-hero.This study, by applying Greimas' model to the novel's two major pivotal characters, intends to explore the authenticity of the above argument and illustrate the way the order of a model like that of Greimas can highlight the various underlying narrative layers of a fictional narration.
