Narrative Structure and Characterization in The Ring of Pigeons
Mehrdad Aghaei,
Volume 1, Issue 2 (Spring and summer 2020)
Abstract
Story results from a writer’s fantasies, feelings, and inner fears which are expressed in word form. Fictional characters emerge from the depths of the writer’s existence and enter the world of fiction. In general, we can say that the story comes from reality and illustrated by the author’s mind. Usually, authors use different metaphorical expressions to convey their intended message. The Collar of Pigeons, a novel Raja'a Alem, records social and religious events occur in Mecca and Madrid. Here, the Kaaba is a symbol of holiness though some people attempt to degrade its holiness. In terms of characterization, the novel is quite unusual: Raja uses dialogue, description, and inclusion to describe and present the characters of her novel, who are mostly complementary ones. The religious and imaginative atmosphere of the story along with its controversial structure has attracted numerous readers. The chronological, spatial, and logical arrangement of events in presenting characters follows a linear narrative flow. The formal structure of the story is divided into two parts, each with a different location. Different characters are identified with different “Izzah” identity. When examining the characters of the novel, it becomes clear to that the author considers maintaining the identity of the Kaaba, the main concern of the novel, by placing the narrative center in the Kaaba and the events that happen in this holy place. This article adopts an analytical and descriptive method to analyze strategies of characterization in the order, continuity, and arrangement of different parts of the novel.

Personality Processing: Protagonist of the novel "Al-I'tirafat" Based on Eysenck's Personality Theory
Houshang Aghaei Anarmarzi, Javad Mohammadzadeh, Mohsen Seifi, Rouhollah Sayyadinejad,
Volume 6, Issue 3 (3-2025)
Abstract
Personality is one of the main elements in the structure of a novel; because this element participates in its events, whether negatively or positively, and it is one of the narrative techniques on which the novel is based and is considered a factor of its success, distinction, and immortality. Among the types of personalities, the role of the hero or protagonist, as the most prominent element, also excites and stimulates the reader's emotions throughout the novel and creates synergy and convergence with the audience. The actions of the novel are centered on the protagonist's role, to the extent that it overlaps with other influential characters; therefore, in the present study, an attempt is made to investigate the components of the protagonist's personality and to recognize its dimensions in Rabee Jaber's novel "Al-I'tirafat" based on Eysenck's personality theory, using a library method and relying on a descriptive-analytical method. A novel whose events revolve around "Maroun," a character who experienced the Lebanese civil war and reveals his inner conflicts from which he suffers. The main goal of this article is to examine the typology of the character of "Confessions" based on this theory, a theory that analyzes and examines temperaments in three types of introverted, psychotic, and neurotic. These three dimensions provide a framework that enables us to understand personality traits and encourages us to better reveal their complexities. The achievement of the research indicates that due to the tense atmosphere derived from the Lebanese civil war, the presence of the main and influential character of the novel has a shaky and abnormal identity and is faced with an internal and identity crisis that has no fate other than darkness and misery. Based on Eysenck's personality theory, the index of neuroticism and introversion has the highest frequency compared to other components, such as extroversion and psychosis, which play an enigmatic role. The most important signs of neuroticism are imbalance in behavior, mental confusion caused by past bitter events, confession of guilt or remorse, and signs of introversion, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness or constant inferiority in daily life, and signs of psychosis include lack of concentration, memory weakness, and stagnation and lack of adaptation to environmental changes.
