The article explores the structural analysis of narrative, emphasizing its universality across various forms and cultures. It argues that narratives are fundamental to human existence, present in all societies and forms of communication. The author challenges the notion that narrative is too general to be analyzed, suggesting that a structural approach is necessary to understand its variations. This approach draws on linguistic analysis, particularly the work of the Russian Formalists and structuralists like Levi-Strauss, to identify underlying patterns and structures in narratives. The article proposes that narratives can be analyzed through a homological relationship with language, where the narrative functions as a larger "sentence" composed of smaller units. It discusses the levels of meaning in narratives, distinguishing between different types of units such as functions and indications, and how they contribute to the overall structure. The text also examines the syntax of functions, highlighting the logical relationships between different narrative elements. The analysis of characters is further explored, emphasizing their role in the narrative structure and the importance of their actions and interactions. The article concludes by advocating for a structural approach to narrative analysis, which considers the hierarchical organization of narrative elements and their relationships within the broader context of the narrative. This approach aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the narrative structure, recognizing its complexity and diversity across different forms and cultures.The article explores the structural analysis of narrative, emphasizing its universality across various forms and cultures.
