There are many methods and theories to
understand or make sense of the literary work. One of these methods that try to
give meaning to it is structuralism. There is Russian formality on the basis of
what is known as “structuralism” in the Western world and it is essential to
make any phenomenon which is examined by structuralist method that emerged in
the 20th century understandable in itself. The main item that constitutes the
essence of this theory is the structure and the theory attempts to explain the
phenomena in general with the motive of “structure”. On the other hand, every
work is composed of various structural elements which are integral when
considering the context of literary work. We can say that items such as
“narrator”, “event”, “people”, “time”, “space”, “language and wording” create
the structure that ensures content integrity in the work. In our work which addressed the work named Şairin
Romanı published by Murathan Mungan in 2001 in line with structuralism
approach, it was analysed in terms of the elements “narrator and narrating
method”, “content”, “storyline and abstract”, “language and wording”. In
other words, the fictional features of the novel are tried to determine and
structural analysis of it was done thereby revealing the relationship between
the items of the structure of the novel.
