Abstract
One of the important elements in the story is the utterances of fictional characters as they illuminate the words, thoughts, and personality of the characters. Utterances are conveyed to readers via narrators, which is subsumed under the rubric of “narrative style” that determines the relationship between the narrator and characters. Adrakha Al-nassian, a realistic novel by the contemporary Jordanian writer Sanaa Al-Shalan, has taken advantage of narrative techniques in relation to characters and events and draws on the five narrative methods in order to depict political atmosphere in Syria. The objective of this descriptive-analytical study is to determine the extent to which Shalaan uses each of these methods in different fictional contexts, as each is used for a specific purpose on behalf the writer. It is observed that the use of narrative methods starts with the dominance of the narrator in the story and ends with the complete domination of characters. Narrative report is often used in the case of observing brevity and avoiding detailed descriptions of events while direct utterance is used in order to explain the psychological and cognitive dimension of characters, depicting their inner feelings in dealing with social realities.
