Analysis of romantic relationships in two popular novels Bazgasht be khoshbakhti and Dalane behesht based on the social network effect in duplex theory of love Robert j. Sternberg

Love as a social issue is a slippery question whose importance has led to the formation of different definitions. Sternberg tried to imagine a clear system for it based on the two theories of the triangular theory of love and the love as a story theory, which are presented in this essay under the common name of the duplex theory of love. In his first concept, he considers love to be a distinct existence of three components: intimacy, decision-commitment, and passion, which develop in cohabitation or non-cohabitation with each other. The diversity of the nature of love has determined different types of relationships. His second theory, in completing his previous theory, shows attention to the schemas that emerge from the interaction of personality traits and personal tendencies of a person with the environment. Stories that a person seeks to realize throughout her/his life. Also, in this analysis, attention was paid to the rule of the social network effect in the sense of the supportive role of relatives in creating a lasting relationship with satisfaction, and author tried to understand this role and the aspects of the influence of the components of Sternberg's two theories in the relationships of two popular novel. What was obtained as the results of this research was the high frequency of the intimacy component, the effect of this component along with the mutual love story in forming committed bonds and the mutual of the social network effect in strengthening relationship satisfaction.
