Didactic literature seeks to persuade and to shape the reader’s moral outlook; and to the extent that such writing is literary, it tends to render abstract notions through concrete, experiential forms. In the Būstān, Saadi develops ethical concepts by means of pictorial elaboration, articulating moral ideas through lived experience, dialogue, reflections on material objects and bodily states, and real, historical, or fictional events—whether actualized or potentially realizable. In this article, “imagery” denotes the concretization of concepts and their extension through narrative exemplification. The study examines how Saadi mobilizes linguistic, hermeneutic, and narrative resources to particularize ethical concepts so that readers may appropriate them in light of their own circumstances. The principal research question is: How do abstract ethical concepts in the Būstān take on concrete manifestation? Methodologically, the study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach combined with close reading and hermeneutic interpretation. The findings suggest that Saadi’s narrative art and semantic precision produce scenes in which individuals from diverse social strata confront situations of moral action or moral omission, presented through direct speech, dialogic exchange, or the judgments of an omniscient narrator. The text foregrounds both the internal relations of discourse and the interconnection of multiple dimensions of ethical experience. Readers are invited to moral reflection through identification with characters, the recollection of analogous personal experiences, and attention to the ethical consequences of actions—processes that may culminate in persuasion. Saadi further exploits the semantic and phonetic charge of lexical choices to enhance the perceptibility of moral concepts. Across the narratives, a tacit dialogue is sustained between author and reader.
