Abstract

Feminist narratology systematically explores gender differences in storytelling and discourse, reflecting on topics including the gender of the writers, the author's hypothetical audience, the real audiences, and the characters and narrator. The aim of this paper is to study feminist narratology in Ghazaleh Alizadeh's most important novel, The House of the Idrisi. This descriptive-analytical paper demonstrates that, aside from the novel's new theme, important literary methods, and solid narrative structure, the analysis of feminist narratology in this novel serves as a forum for the emergence and manifestation of the feminist movement's cultural, conceptual, and metaphysical facets. In fact, Alizadeh reveals her feminist approaches to The House of the Idrisi in two ways: first, by introducing a modern method of replacing masculine narratives with expressive feminine narratives of things, existence, and concepts ( be able to understand gender differences in it), and, second, by emphasizing the female characters of the novel, which, in turn, gives the novel its structure, namely the relationship between explanation, dialogue, and, of course, the story's components and conceptually; complicating female characters in a fictional novel seem to represent the socio-political status of women in the fictional society.
