Since Rumi's Masnavi is an educational-mystical work, the poet has tried to express his advice and counsel on social issues in the form of stories, anecdotes and allegories, as well as his mystical thoughts and ideas. Therefore, the stories, anecdotes and allegories of Masnavi are very diverse. This diversity causes the multiplicity and diversity of characters in Masnavi; What is the basis of any story is its characters who are the cause or routine of events. In fact, the fictional world of Masnavi is full of characters that Rumi selects from different social classes and strata and consciously places them in line with his theological, mystical and philosophical thoughts, views and beliefs. Rumi cleverly considers the psycho-class traits of the characters in the world of his stories, and the fictional characters also play their role in proportion to those traits and characteristics. This article examines some of the most important social factors influencing the evolution and characterization of Rumi and the characteristics of the characters in Masnavi stories. The results of this study show that: Rumi in many stories of Masnavi with simple anecdotes and stories and generally taken from the life of the masses to reflective approaches and conclusions in the action and reaction of the character Rumi's interpretive and semantic mind is always looking for spiritual qualities behind the objects and characters of the story and material and tangible matters in order to make the reader and the audience read the colorful meanings that are worthy of the followers of the path.
