Metanarrative Characters in Burhan Shawi’s Mazes: The Narrator as a Model

Abstract

The idea of  this research stems from the study of an important element of character building elements in Burhan Shawi's various mazes، which formed basic themes on which he built his different world of fiction by employing (meta-narrative) in it . And because of its importance and presence in his narrative sequences . We dealt with the character of (the narrator) in his mazes Logically sequential، and the importance of (the narrator) appears in that . It refers to more than one indication as a form associated with an author who lives in a civilized and cultural environment that he is affected by and bears its concerns and tries through writing to be active in it. And who played the game of narration through the level of time, without being captive to this game, leaving the freedom for the voices of the characters to say a narrator about them with his voice, in order to make way for the multiple angles of vision. We follow an inductive approach in our analysis of the texts (labyrinths) to reveal the nature of the relationship of (the narrator) with the characters، and therefore we can say that (the narrator) is one of the poles of the communicative process between the author and the reader or between the imagined world and reality . And the visions of critics and researchers have multiplied around it.
