Donna Vis e i suoi tre mariti. Semantica del desiderio femminile nel Vis o Ramin di Gorgani

The author focuses on the analysis of the characters, especially the female characters, and their mutual complex relations, in the first verse romance of the New Persian literature, Vis and Ramin of Gorgani (XI sec.) set at the Marv court in the pre-Islamic era. Subsequently the author examines the dynamics of adultery, highlighting how Gorgani will focus on the role of the “demonic”, within the love triangle, as a factor of disorder but also of dynamization of private and public life. Finally, the author analyzes the attitude marked by open philoginy of Gorgani and his legitimation strategies of Vis’s sin.
