have chosen to depict events in a particular sequence or order.’
Thesis: Mahfouz aims to relay certain events in the story using the narrative technique of flashbacks with the goal of maintaining a realist viewpoint in the tale, relaying the context of the novel and developing an effective plot.
Topic Sentences:
The genre of Psychological realism is implemented and grounded through Mahfouz's use of flashbacks and stream of consciousness narrative.
The context of the tale can be signaled through the use of Said's inner monologues, which provides Mahfouz himself with an opening towards expressing his own perspective upon Nasser's revolution.
The recurring presence of flashbacks in the novel provide the readers with a pathway towards learning more about Said's background alongside enraging Said's emotion which leads to the establishment of conflicts within the plot.
