Abstract

Narratology or narrative theory as the systematic study of narrative entered the realm of structuralism since about 1960. Theoreticians have since attempted to analyze the structure of the narrative using various methods such as dividing narrative into its segments. The Holy Qur’an urges the mankind to follow the example of prophets and divine leaders. This article seeks to analyze the Qur’anic account of Mary’s narrative in order to show its actions, general structure, and the relationship between its plot, theme, structure, characters, and their actions. The results are presented in the form of tables and graphs.
