Abstract
Narrative as an element of culture plays a key role in shaping some significant colonial attitudes. Moreover, the nature of the novel almost always opens up a space for interaction. The novel is a literary form that also has much affinity with Orientalism. It is the nature of the novel as a constituent of culture and as an imperial quest that yields an Oriental flavor. Researchers have applied postcolonial theories to a variety of novels due to this narrative nature. The main battle in imperialism is over land, of course, but it is usually fought in the novel when it came to who owned the land, who had the right to settle and work on the land, who kept it going, who won it back, and who now plans its future. This study attempts to define a relationship between the colonial and the narrative in the light of Edward Said’s analyses.
