Narratology, a longstanding field of study in fiction has only recently been applied to drama studies, sparking controversy among scholars who consider narrative exclusive to fiction. The systematic theorization of dramatic narratology began in the twenty-first century, led by pioneers like Monika Fludernik, Brian Richardson, and Ansgar Nünning, who elucidated the distinctive narrative structures in drama, distinguishing it from other literary genres. This research draws mainly from Fludernik's works and theories to analyze how Iranian playwright Bahrām Beyzāie employs structural, stylistic and narratological elements—such as overt narrators, presentational models, character introductions, metonymy, setting, time–space, and speech representations—in Majles-e Ghorbāni-e Senemmār and Majles-e Zarbat Zadan to modernize his thematically traditional stories, navigating the complexities of Iran's modern dramatic canon.
