رواية الأجيال بين الثلاثية لمحفوظ وعائلة باسكوال دوارتي لثيلا : دراسة مقارنة

الملخص EN

The generational novel is one of the distinctive types of novels.

It describes the conditions of several generations of one family over the years, reporting the events, political fluctuations, and the change in economic, cultural and social conditions.

The trilogy narrates the life of a middle-class family before and after the 1919 revolution until the fifties of the last century, showing the lives of people at that time, their customs and traditions, the relationships within the same family, the relationships of families with each other, the negative or positive impact of mother and father, the extent to which families are keen on education, the emergence of new political currents, and the concerns of the younger generations.

As for the novel of the Pascual Duarte family, we find that it is a memoir of a murderer sentenced to death, giving a picture of the dire social and economic conditions that Spain suffered after the civil war.

It serves as a confession or purification of the soul from guilt, or a relief to his conscience before death, or a justification for the actions he committed.

These notes raise the question: Are crimes and inclination to violence a human nature, acquired from the environment, or a result of the circumstances and pressures surrounding the person? It also shows the negative influence of the father and the mother in all stages of the upbringing in which the personality is formed and the parents being bad role models.

It is wondered whether he is the only criminal or is there someone who pushed him to do so?.
