Narrative conflict, i.e., the confrontation and clash of multiple narratives within a text, is a fundamental factor in shaping the form. Focusing on the role of narrative conflict in "The Tale of the Jewish King Who Killed the Christians Out of Zealotry" (from the first chapter of Rumi's Masnavi), this study seeks to examine and analyze the impact of these narrative confrontations on the structure and final form of the story. In this tale, linguistic, intellectual, and physical conflicts unfold in a complex and escalating manner. In fact, conflicts serve not as a mere element alongside other elements, but as the main driving force in shaping the narrative structure. This paper shows that narrative conflict, along with other factors such as additions, deletions, delays, accelerations, and temporal gaps, contribute to the expansion and advancement of the story and ultimately lead to the formation of the final form of the work. The research method in this study is based on qualitative content analysis; the key points of the narrative conflicts and their impact on the form have been identified by carefully studying the text. In addition, the role of the reader in the process of perceiving the form has been examined with an emphasis on narrative conflict and the expectations and questions that form in the reader's mind. This research also analyzed the role of presence or absence of an ending and its impact on the coherence and final structure of the story, revealing the impact of these factors on the story's form.
