Abstract: (129 Views)
The technique of focusing falls within the category of the formula in which the narrator is studied to find out his point of view towards the story he is telling in general. Therefore, according to Gérard Gent's vision, the focusing technique ranges between three levels: the zero-focus plot, the internal-focus plot, and the external-focus plot. The focalization technique in the novel "Passages" presents two apparently conflicting identities through two narrator characters. They both belong to a special identity caused by the Zionist occupation. Therefore, Najwa's narrative character came to express her Palestinian-Muslim community living in the camps, and Dareen's narrative character came to express the Palestinian-Christian community in Lebanon. This study relies on the descriptive-analytical approach based on Gérard Genette’s theory of focus and aims to analyze the writer’s style in the novel “Passages,” which reflects the reality in the Arab world during the Zionist occupation. This research was able to find that the focus was present in its three types, and most of it was through the point of view of the two main characters in the novel, who expressed their position towards the Palestinian resistance, but the internal focus in most of the novel came from the tongue of Najwa, who has complete knowledge of the Palestinian issue, and who wanted to be close to her Christian friend. To what is happening in Palestine of massacres and massacres, through letters that took place between them.
