Analyzing the Structural Narrative of the Conversations between the Arrogant People and their Followers in The Holy Qur'an

Narratology is one of the relatively new sciences in the field of literary criticism that can be said to derive from linguistics. This science examines the techniques and structure of narratives, and thus seeks to find the narrative grammar. Using the methods and theories of narratology, can provide a better and more accurate analysis of the Quranic stories and clarify the new effects of the beauty and miracle of the Qur'an. One of the situations presented in the Qur'an is a conversation between the arrogant people and their followers on the Day of Judgment. The main purpose of this study is to use the views expressed in this science to analysis this narrative space and identify new aspects of the arrogant traits. The method of this descriptive-analytic study is structural narrative approach. The findings of this study show that these verses, which are in two different surahs, have a conversational-oriented structure with regard to their narrative style. The use of narrative function in most sections of the story and the ideological function at the end of the narrative stresses that reading and listening to the stories without understanding the ideological and cultural matters is in vain. Also, there are few time jumps in the story that indicate the irresponsibility of the arrogant people and their followers.
