Analysis of the Structure of the Narration of the Story of the Prophet Yunus in the Quran Based on the Views of Gerard Genet

The narrative of one of the common concepts in literary criticism and narrationology is one of the main branches of structuralism. In this study, from the perspective of one of the greatest structural narrationologists, Gerard Genet, the three narrative levels (story, narration, and narrative) of the story of the Prophet Yunus in the Holy Quran, the elements, i.e. time, mood and tone, that make these narrative levels interact with each other and such factor as order, continuity and frequency are examined. The story of the Prophet Yunus as an example of the Quranic stories and as a literary text includes some narrative elements which have been used to promote the transcendental goals of the Quran, i.e. training and guiding.
