A Review of Narrative Plurality in the Novel of Destinies by Rabai al-Madhoun

With transition from the traditional novel to the modern anti-novel, a number of changes were made, whereby the authors were eager to alter and create new forms and styles, including narrative plurality. In contrast to the individual and unilateral narrative, narrative plurality is used to illustrate the disruption and multiplicity of concepts in today's world. Today, the novelist does not look through a window from a single point of view to give a detailed narrative based on the classical structure, i.e. with an introduction, a middle part and an ending. Rather, they endeavor to produce a work that follows several narratives. However, in order to avoid the risk of appearing as a collection of short stories, the novelist sums them all up in one chapter. A number of factors are involved in the development of such a style, which could give the work a particularly aesthetic appeal if used by the author. This paper investigates the process of narrative plurality and its functions by reviewing the novel of Destinies. In addition, the factors that have led the narrator to choose this style are considered in this paper. The results of the present study show that the plurality of narration in Destinies has been chosen because of its harmonious structure, the multiplicity of its fundamental elements, and its historical and political themes, all of which have resulted in development of qualities such as variation and entertainment, inclusiveness and imbalance . This study has used the descriptive-analytical methodology
