As for the second axis, it is represented by the applied study, which is entitled by: “The whims of Grand Narratives through Roger Allen’s Insight of the Arabic Novel,” and it includes three narratives, which are, first: Western superiority, which is represented by “cultural and religious superiority,” second: The whims of the post-colonial model, which includes: “women, the popular dialect, the control of the East and the freedom of the West.” Third: the laws of the method, and that deal with “abstraction, generalization.” Perhaps one of the most important results that the research reached to is the invasion of Orientalism with its laws that it circulated in its primitive stages.
