Analysis of focal point of narration of Joseph in Holy Quran based on the theory of Gerard Genette

Although narrations have been at the center of attention for a long while, precise discussions in this regard were presented as of the waning years of 20th Century. One of these discussions is the Structural Movement which studies the status of narrator in the narration and the relationship between watching and speaking in narrations. One of the most prominent theorists in this field is Gerard Genette.Meanwhile, parts of Holy Quran state narrations with a unique artistic form, which maintain a wide-scale anecdotal-literary capacity for psychological studies. Hence, in this research, the narration of Joseph has been analyzed and studied based on Genette’s theory. Although this narration has been stated in Holy Quran based on educational and guidance goals, all the factors considered by Genette such as diversity in the Structural approaches, diversity in expression and reconsideration of actions; and usage of different structural approaches are evident in this narration.
