Abstract
Attar's use of images and the creation of various and creative images is one of the features that allows his works to be analyzed for common discourse analysis. In his works, Attar has used imagery to express the themes and terms of judgment and philosophy more effectively in creating beauty. The images in Attar's works serve to expand the concepts in the story and add to the beauty and ambiguity in the text, so it is necessary to examine them in a methodical way. Attar's view of the image is beyond the literary system and is also a worldview. He believes that the world is an image of the true beauty, which reflects all the beauties of the beloved, and it is easy to see the qualities of the true beauty in the world and creatures. Using visual semiotics, this research has investigated the codes in the images used in Attar's Masnavis. At the beginning of the process, some images are studied and the features of the visual system in the images are checked as much as possible, and in the next step, the implied meanings are checked and pointed out, so that the role of the images in creating beauty and completing the conceptual discourse desired by Attar be revealed in his works.
