Abstract

The novel Mautu Ma’aliyyi Al-Waziru Sabiqanemerged as a response to gender inequality and social conflict in Egypt, particularly highlighting the dominance of men over women in both the workplace and the household. This study aims to elucidate humanitarian facts, within The novel Mautu Ma’aliyyi Al-Waziru Sabiqanspecifically individual and social realities, through the lens of Lucien Goldmann's genetic structuralism. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology, this research utilizes Goldmann's genetic structuralism approach. The primary datasource consists of the text of Mautu Ma’aliyyi Al-Waziru Sabiqanby Nawal Sa'dawi, which was gathered through reading, note-taking, and classification techniques, and analyzed using interpretive methods based on the descriptive framework of genetic structuralism. The study uncovers two key findings. First, at the individual level, the Prime Minister is portrayed as grappling with inner turmoil manifested through anger, sadness, and regret. Second, on a societal level, the novel reflects the realities of Egypt, particularly the prevailing male dominance over women, which corresponds with the social data from the period in which this work was produced. The narrative of the novel illustrates the alignment between fictional representation and social facts, while also exposing the complexities of Egyptian social constructs, especially concerning gender roles in professional and domestic spheres.This research contributes to the field by applying Lucien Goldmann's genetic structuralism framework to analyze the interplay between Arabic literary works and the Egyptian social context. These findings enhance Arabic literary studies by illustrating how social dynamics are both shaped by and represented in literary expressions, thereby expanding the understanding of the relationship between texts, social structures, and societal ideologies.
