The study aimed to reveal it and the reading strategies it was based on, as well as to clarify the methods of critical construction based on specific theoretical and procedural concepts that the study uncovered through the central question it adopted: How do we analyze the story? The answer was framed by a distinctive model of approach, which is this experience represented by the writings of Abdel Fattah Kilito, that influenced subsequent critical attempts and together formed a contemporary phenomenon of a type of critical engagement with analyzing and interpreting traditional stories.
