The octagonal levels of the Braunigan narrative in the “Shadow Times” novel
Structural studies have been important in recent years to explore the ways in which concepts are transmitted. theologians believe that if we specify the different levels of a narrative work then We can find out the view point of a story teller. Collected all levels in a work show that there is a narrative cycle in it. Eduard Braunigan believes that eight levels are needed to understand the narrative. These levels help the reader to understand literary work. In this study, we analyzed eight levels: 1- Text 2- Story 3- Story world 4- Scene events 5- Acting 6. Speech 7. Figure out 8. Thought Eight levels of Braunigan were reviewed in the novel "Time of Shadows" by Mahmoud Falaki
The method is descriptive-analytic.The results show that in the Braunigan pattern each level represents a part of epistemology in the novel.These levels tell story information.
