Vis and Ramin

What distinguishes Vis and Ramin from other ancient love stories is primarily its subject matter. Unlike the heroes of old love tales, which are generally derived from legends or historical figures and whose narrators try to teach readers morals such as bravery and forgiveness through their detailed lives, the theme of Vis and Ramin is chosen very boldly. Apparently, for this reason, its heroes are fictional and do not align with legend or history. In short, the story revolves around a mutual, passionate, and unrestrained love between a girl named Vis and Ramin, the brother of King Mobad, to whom Vis is married but is highly dissatisfied with this union.
