Abstract

The point of view of the present research is another look at the concept of time in literature and its purpose is to study and explain the surface construction and deep construction of narratives by insisting on the element of "time construction". The author believes that in addition to the time of the incident and the time of the narration, there is also a third time - based on the space, incident and theme - in the story, which is the result of the interweaving of the incident with the time of its occurrence outside the story; So that sometimes the author delicately makes a connection between bitter events in winter or night and happiness in spring or daylight, and this combination - which of course has various forms - is interpreted as "constructed time". What forms the basis of the current research is how to produce meaning as a result of this time transformation based on space and incident and its interweaving with the time of nature in fiction literature, and the author tries to cite limited (but accurate) evidence, while analyzing the dimensions of " Constructed time" in narratives, to explain the process of producing meaning.
