Abstract

Emotion is one of the most important and vital element of poetry. Every poem is a kind of reaction of the artist's self-interactions. Psychic interactions are one of the main stimuli for the formation of works of art. Thus, Mawlana's lyric poems are the result of pure mystical experiences and the arousal of his powerful emotions. In this very article, the predominant aspect of the reflected emotions of Shams's lyric poems has been investigated using Robert Pluchik's theory of "fundamental emotions" in a descriptive-analytical method. In this research, one point (mark) has been considered for each verse and in the analyzing of verses, linguistic elements (sounds, words, compounds, sentences), direct lexical signification, and rhetorical techniques have been used. In Mawlana's sonnets, different types of emotions (primary and complex) have been expressed to different degrees of intensity, which is more than ninety percent of the expressed emotions. This research shows that 24 emotions of Pluchik model are reflected in Mawlana's sonnets. The reflected emotions in Mawlana's sonnets are love, happiness, astonishment, hope, acceptance, humility, respectively. The emotion of love is at the top with 50.92 percent points and despair is at the bottom of the table with 0.02 points.
