Abstract
Jalal Al-e-Ahmad relying on the popular and lively language of his society has used a unique and dynamic language in his works. This unique feature has reached to its summit in The School Principal in which the characters from each social class in the story use the language of the same class in the real society. In order to reach a deeper understanding of this masterpiece, this article compares it to Louis-Ferdinand Céline’s Journey to the End of the Night based on the criteria of comparative literature. Not only are these two works similar in terms of content and point of view, but also they are comparable concerning language. As Al-e-Ahmad himself mentions The School Principal’s language has been influenced by Journey to the End of the Night. This article’s aim is to compare Journey to the End of the Night with The school principle in every aspect, especially in terms of language.
