Abstract
Narration, is a literary work which has a narrator, text and a reader. Through the narrator, the narrative text, is passed on to the reader in various ways. How the texts transmitted and how the narration and the narrator do this role, it is called “the methods of the narrative storie s”. Ahl al-Hamidiyah's novel is the work of Najib Kilani, a contemporary and Egyptian Muslim writer (1931). In this realistic work Kilani has been able to accurately display the political and social atmosphere of Egyptian society especially universities using the method of representing speech and thoughts. The emergence of the dimensions of the characters and events of the novel of Ahl al-Hamidiyah in the narrative speeches is raised as the issue of this research. In this research, the analysis of fictional stories based on five direct narrative methods have been discussed. The purpose of this research, which is descriptive-analytic, is to determine the amount of Kilani's usage of each of these methods in different situations. Each of the aforementioned methods has also been used to explain the specific purpose. The results indicate that the direct method and narrative report have the highest frequency due to the realistic story and the use of the viewpoint of the third person omniscient. The use of narrative reports is used in cases such as strict observance and refusal to describe the details of events, and direct statements are used in explaining the psychological and cognitive aspects of characters and drawing their inner feelings.
