Abstract

Sonnet has always been inextricably linked with lyricism and romantic concepts, and the theme of love and romantic melodies has been the most passionate moments for the lovers of this format. Due to the romantic nature of the original sonnets, the lover and the beloved form the two main and fundamental elements of such works. The status of the lover in this story is specific and is usually equal to the poet or narrator himself, but the beloved plays an important and decisive role in Persian love lyric. In contemporary sonnets, other manifestations of the beloved appear. Sometimes there is no mention of the image of the stereotypes of the unfaithful lover with a height like a cypress tree and an eyebrow like a bow, and the contemporary poet has given it a new and modern atmosphere.Given the greater social interactions of men and women in today's society, a sociological reason for the emergence of a new mistress in today's lyric can be imagined.

Qeysar Aminpour has experimented with different forms of poetry. In this article, the sonnets of this poet have been studied and an attempt has been made to examine the types of the poet's dealings with the elements of love and the beloved in his collection of sonnets. Also, the evolution of the beloved character and the evolution and change of the narrator's view of it are explained.
