- Abstract
The main aim of this article is to introduce the recognition of the function and the structure, as well as the core elements, of narration in narrative texts as a key factor in comprehending their main theme(s). The analysis of the levels of narration and Pirang design can shed light on the main theme of the text and the tricks that a storyteller uses in order to express the theme to the reader. To achieve this, we have analyzed and explained the level of narration and plot of "Man and Stone" and "Insects That Become Human" by two well-known and active Afghan writers, that is, Azam Rahnavard Zaryab and Spozhmi Zaryab, respectively. Rahnavard Zaryab is one of Afghanistan's most famous writers. Her productivity has made her one of the most active Afghan writers in the genre of fiction. Spozhmi Zaryab is another famous Afghan storyteller, whose knowledge about the French language has positively affected the structural quality of his stories. A comparative analysis of the narrative structure of these two stories can well illustrate their main theme, because particular attention to their narrative structures can enable readers to easily understand the main content of these stories.
