Abstract

Time is considered the true face of the universe and the world, as it expresses, through its continuous movement, survival, disappearance, and existence. It has been associated with philosophers with continuous movement and the change that this movement can bring to consciousness and ideas. It has also been linked to them with filling a space or place that gives it qualities and features that give us the ability to comprehend a quantity or The measure of this movement and these variables. The study of the novel is closely and permanently linked to narrative time, because this time is what gives the novel the features of its external appearance in general, and even adds to it those details that determine the appearance of the characters and even events within the fictional work in particular. This is what gives each novel its own style that distinguishes it from others. The style of time movement and its changes is clearly reflected in the stylistics of the characters within the literary work. Thus, we can say that the factor of time is one of the constant and most important foundations in determining the style of a novel or any other literary work.
