Abstract
Agents and social actors play an important role in the formation of discourse, hegemony of power, thinking in society and consequently a literary work, and the author can refer to their role in the work in two ways: omission and statement. The methods that depend on the social conditions of the society and the level of power of the agents are fluctuating. In the light of van Leeuwen's discourse theory and relying on the representation and non-representation of social agents in the literary work, this article looks for the functions and social themes and the underlying themes of the text, and to achieve this goal, it examines the novel Al-Qandus by the Saudi writer "Mohammed Hassan Alwan". , to criticize and evaluate the context of the emergence of social agents in this work. Literary works produced in authoritarian and suffocating conditions are very important in terms of analysis and processing based on the theories of discourse analysis, and it is possible to discover the technical features and the underlying but efficient foundations of the work. The result shows that Alwan has used the element of omission more than expression, considering the same atmosphere of tyranny in Saudi society, and these omissions are done consciously but with the assumption that the intelligent audience will understand the author's intention. Also, the methods of declaring identity or naming in accordance with the culture have been used for more irony and criticism.
