Abstract

Chaos and order are dual opposites of meaning production in Yuri Lutmann's cultural semiotics. Order is a positive and constructive thing that, by being in the interaction of chaos, which is a negative and destructive thing, causes the production of meaning and the creation of complex concepts. This article aims to make a comparative reading of Reza Ghasemi's novel The chahe Babol and Baha Taher's Vahei Ghorob based on the pattern of chaos and order by Yuri Lutman with a descriptive-analytical approach.The results of the research indicate that the authors have expressed their inner feelings in the structure of fictional characters in dealing with the new atmosphere and different culture based on chaos and disorder in the text of the two novels Chah Babol and Vahei Ghorob.Eternal turmoil and butterfly wing movement make events in these novels nonlinear and events based on uncertainty; In fact, any complex phenomenon, such as fear and disorder, is affected by other events.These events are things like: eternal turmoil, pre-order chaos and post-order chaos that cause changes and turmoil in the heart of the text and fictional characters. What is very similar in the two novels is the eternal turmoil, the main basis of which is fear and confusion, and the butterfly wing movement is the main difference between the two novels, which has become more frequent in the novel Chah Babol due to different time periods.
