Due to the birth of the Arab novel as a modern literary art at the beginning of the last century it was able to absorb the contradictions of Arab societies. Its birth was closely linked to the flourishing of the national awareness of Arab thinkers and writers, as it is considered a reflection of political, social, cultural and purely humanitarian patterns and conditions encompassing all its problems, concerns and ambitions. The novel, according to (Genevieve Idt, 110:1986) is considered to be an interconnected social institution, close in its connection with reality in all its economic, political and social forms. Georg Lukács is considered one of the first critics who offered beneficial and meaningful theorisation about the fictional work through his book "The Theory of the Novel" issued in 1920. He regarded it as an epic pattern which simultaneously depicts a number of human characters, as well as the social and natural environment in which these characters interact amongst each other, that is, it depicts life completely.otherArabic NovelStructuralismDeconstruction TheoryNarrative StructureLibyan societyUniversity of the Western Cape
