بناء المفارقة في الرواية النسائية السعودية : مقاربة سردية موازنة بين روايتي الوارفة لأميمة الخميس و عيون قذرة لقماشة العليان

Abstract EN

Having a strong influence of creativity, the Saudi female novel has been a shinning point that attracts the attention of many researchers and scholars.

This paper aims to highlight the ability of the Saudi female creative writer to conquer the world of irony in her writing, as dealing with irony is a field that is still unfolding in the world of the Saudi female novel.

Accordingly, this paper is built on a comparative narratological analysis of Alwarifa (The Leafy Tree) by Umaima al-Khamis and Ouon Kazera (Wicked Eyes) by Qmasha al-Olayan.

The study aims to show that a sense of irony can be clearly felt in the two novels.

Moreover, it expands in the their narratological fabric creating a linguistic feature that stimulates the researchers to more discovery and treatment.

It also seeks to find some renewals in the field of the narratology studies, something that opens new horizons to the scholars away from the traditional inherited methods showing that comparison is a valid method to discover the secrets of novel creativity.

Accordingly, this helps in showing the types of irony and exposing the similarities and differences between the two novels, and emphasizes that the two novels are based on irony to tighten the narration and increase the created sense of suspense.
