The discourse is a group of words that define patterns of behavior, and affect community life negatively and positively. Therefore, the discourse of power penetrated all economic, political, cultural and even psychological issues, and since the novel is a narrative world that evokes what appears from the reality of society and what is hidden from it, it cannot be analyzed in isolation from the discourse Authority. The discourse of power has a distinct presence in the narrative formation in the novels of Hamid Al-Aqabi, especially in the formation of the active structure. Because it is the most influential of the system of power and its dominant discourse. The research tries to show the most important features of authority and the influence of various characters in Hamid Aqabi's novels. The issue of the study imposed on us the use of the analytical descriptive approach, in general, and the formative structural approach as a narrative approach for analyzing the fictional discourse, relying on the tools of induction, deduction and interpretation. Two novels " Eqtafi 'athari " and " Alfiran " were chosen for their treatment of the political system of power and the dominant phenomena, according to what the characters require in order to draw conclusions and understand them. The research reached several results, the most important of which are: that power did not only affect the living conditions, but also affected behaviors and impressions, and this discourse became pervasive in the fabric of society, and the defeated characters were more effective than the characters belonging to the two novels, and Al-Aqabi tried to portray the negative impact of power. On fictional characters such as fragmentation, loss of identity, and severe psychological crises.
