Rostam and Sohrab is a tragic story of how father and son are separated for the majority of the son's life only to be reunited during the war between Iran and Turan. The circumstances that take a sad turn and end in the death of Sohrab. There is great irony in this tragic poem as Rostam kills his son in battle. Unfortunately for both Rostam and Sohrab they do not realize they are father and son until Sohrab had been fatally wounded.
The death of Sohrab is an outcome that we do not expect to see. Most stories similar to this result in the son killing the father, not vice versa. This goes against our traditional beliefs that the son normally kills the father at the end of a play. It is sad to see the two reuniting under these circumstances not even knowing the true identity of eachother until it is too late. This tragedy may have been avoided had they know they were father and son in the beginning of battle.
