The term "stylistic analysis," which describes the procedure of discovering usage patterns in speech and writing, is used by linguists to assess the value and significance of texts in literary studies. Analysing a document's style is crucial to understanding not only the text itself but also the content and the function of language within it. The goal of this paper is to provide a stylistic analysis of the well-known Persian fable The Scorpion and the Tortoise by dissecting its various literary and rhetorical elements. Any given stylistic analysis aims to either break down a language into its component elements or obtain an understanding of its meaning. There are a lot of literary and linguistic devices used in this story to show irrationality, obsession, tension, and other themes that keep coming up. So, using the method of stylistic analysis, I will look into how the writer's choices contribute to the creation of certain meanings.المراجع
