Abstract

Whether they are works of art and literature or texts grounded in philosophy and theory, all such creations embody the essence of human existence. It is an undeniable reality that human existence adapts to the political, social, and economic changes it encounters. Internal psychological factors and external influences invariably play a significant role in this process of adaptation. In this context, readers require a framework to approach and observe creative works that encapsulate these elements, as well as to share and examine their reading experiences with others. Furthermore, approaching specific creative works often necessitates a defined analytical framework. Accordingly, the central focus of this article is to identify the classical elements interwoven within early novels.
