Abstract
The novel is not only a type of narrative; Rather, on the occasion of benefiting from writing techniques, it has a full capacity for analysis based on contemporary critical theories, because if its structure is mounted in a correct way, it will be fully capable of layering. The underlying parts of its superstructure can be better charted based on structural analysis. In the meantime, Todorov's theory, with the collective wisdom of structuralists, provides a precise engineering system for analyzing the novel. Todorov considers three levels in the geometry of the novel. The first level is the text of the novel, which is provided by the storage of words of the author in the pages of the novel, and the words are coded according to the author's ability, and according to his innovation, they sit side by side in such a way that understanding them is crucial. It requires technical skills. That's why, in examining the text, one should focus on the writing techniques and techniques so that by recognizing the common points, the differences can be identified and the author's artistic performances in the text can be identified. Apart from the text, the second level of the geometry of the novel, from Todorov's point of view, are the series (progresses). This article aims to analyze the novel Harith al-Miyyah by Hoda Barakat in a descriptive-analytical way, based on Todorov's narrative series. The most important result is that this novel was written with a main series, a secondary series, and a semi-series with a narrative interior, and alternation in the narration. Harith al-Miyah also shows a full capacity in adapting Todorov's narrative aspects, because it has news and non-news aspects and various examples in non-news types, including desire, in two mandatory and wishful types, and hypothetical in two conditional types and The forecast is found in it.
