Theorists as Tomasheveskey, Bart and Genette considered contrast of these two structures from the perspective of text item and narrative. According to this view, every narration is the representation of an event or series of events that contain the time of text and the word. This paper analyzed the contrast of description and narrative with relying on the views of three theorists and answered this question that what type relationship is between description and narrative and the Jamie ’ s Leyly and Majnun system is considered as the base to better understanding of this relationship. In this system, descriptions that are used for characterization and atmosphere-creating are the free and static motif of text based on the Tomasheveskey view and become special index and informant according to the Bart view. According to theGenette view, description comprises of existence statements, so description of this system has a kind of ornamental and manifesting function.According to the categories of these three theories,description hasn’t any effect on the plot and in the narration – especially narration of Leyly and Majnun- leads to the formation of deceleration in narration.
