Abstract
- Simile is a straightforward method of creating imagery extensively discussed by rhetoricians. However, comparing something to itself is a rare form of simile in rhetoric and has been deemed unjustifiable by scholars. They argue that this simile lacks imaginative properties, requiring little effort for comprehension. Nevertheless, examples of self-comparison can be found in Persian literature, particularly in the works of poets, such as Attar, Nizami, Masoud Saad, Jamaluddin Esfahani, Molana, Zahoori Tarshizi, Akhwan Taalih, and Aminpour. Indian rhetoricians, including Mirza Khan Bin Fakhruddin Muhammad, Sirajuddin Ali Khan Arzoo, and Azad Belgrami, have provided detailed reflections on this simile. While simulating something to itself may not be entirely devoid of literary value, it can serve a creative purpose in certain contexts. In this descriptive-analytical article, we investigated the various dimensions of self-comparison. Initially, we reviewed the perspectives presented in different rhetorical books regarding this rhetorical technique and subsequently delved into its intricacies. Finally, we outlined the purposes behind employing this type of simile with a primary focus on poets and writers aiming to emphasize and express the perfection of Mamdouh's majesty.
