Abstract

Objectives: This study explore the narrative time in the story "The Bet" by Khalil Qandil, as a raw text that has not been studied before, and the effectiveness of this narrative component - including the intersection of the natural course of time, and evasion of its restrictions - in restructuring the story, linking its events, and building its narrative text.

Methodology: The study followed the descriptive and analytical approach, which in turn was able to reveal the writer's ingenuity in employing temporal techniques that contributed to presenting characters, introducing them, and clarifying and linking events.

Results: The study concluded the complexity of time and its fragmentation in the story (The Bet), the body of its presence appeared in two manifestations: the natural time of the story, which represents the external framework of the text, it is unidirectional does not have the opposite direction, and the time of the narrative that exceeds the natural time in its sequence and logic, breaking the time of the story realistic, creating a time rich in time paradoxes, and the consequent variation in the mechanisms of physical and moral perception. And each of the chronological order based on retrieval and anticipation, and the time-consuming based on speeding and slowing down the narration, that had the most prominent role in shaping the textual structure of the story, highlighting some of its aesthetic secrets of suspense and the cohesion between the two narrative techniques used, and then establishing its semantic, rhythmic and explanatory dimension.

Conclusions: The study recommended - in light of its results - to direct the attention of researchers towards Khalil Qandil's storytelling experience, urging them to study and explore it fully. it emphasizes the value of experience in terms of content, narrative structure, and semantic and aesthetic dimensions
