Conclusion
The results indicate the special attention of the storyteller to the female character in the fifth century and, as a result, the beginning of a new movement in the way Iranian storytellers view women and the image of the nurse in Persian literature. Few people have been able to create a nurse with such an influential and prominent character in a love story as Fakhreddin Asad Gorgani. A central character who connects many of the events of the story, nurtures the two main characters, unites them in unity, is cunning and charming, and embodies both good and bad qualities. Unlike other nurses in Persian literature, despite having the role of breastfeeding and nurturing, she is versatile and skilled in everything. Because of having all these characteristics, she can interact with all the characters in the story and act as she sees fit in any situation. In our opinion, Fakhreddin Asad Gorgani, behind his bold look at the character of women in the fifth century, is the first storyteller to portray, in the form of the character of the nanny, an image of bold, fearless, strong, independent, etc. women.
