%X Abstract This paper undertakes an interdisciplinary study of the short story ¡°Dash Akol¡± and the movie adapted from it. ¡°Dash Akol¡± is a short story written by a famous Iranian author Sadeq Hedayat in 1932. Hedayat¡¯s ¡°Dash Akol¡± was made into a movie in 1971 by Masoud Kimiai. There are some discrepancies between the short story ¡°Dash Akol¡± and the movie, triggering a number of significant implications. This article discusses these discrepancies along with Hedayat¡¯s and Kimiai¡¯s narrative techniques. To this end, it applies Genett¡¯s (1988) Narrative Discourse and his three main narrative methods: narrating, characterization, and focalization. Meanwhile, it brings in Rimmon-Kenen¡¯s (2002) strategy to study characters, and Stam and Burgoyne and Flitterman-lewis (2005) to show the ways in which the movie has deviated from the story. In terms of characterization, it studies traits such as, action, speech, naming and setting
