Abstract

This article analyzes Simin Daneshvar's novel Suvushun based on Leslie Jeffries' ten stylistic components to examine how the author's ideology is reflected in the language. These components, designed around cultural and sociological analyses, enable a more detailed study of the text. Findings indicate that Jeffries' components, including naming, description, representation of actions, events, and states, oppositions, equivalences, presupposition, and the representation of time and place, are utilized in the novel to convey ideologies such as resistance and love for the homeland. Among these, oppositions, with a frequency of 23.59%, have the highest share, reflecting significant tension between characters and even abstract concepts like tradition and modernity. Presupposition, with 8.87%, demonstrates the author's preference for indirectly expressing ideologies and her ideal society, thereby minimizing the risk of direct criticism. Conversely, prioritization, with the lowest frequency of 1.57%, indicates that the author refrains from imposing specific views or a rigid hierarchy of concepts on the reader, creating a space for the audience to reflect on the significance and order of themes independently.
