Myth has occupied major space in Edward Al-Kharrat's experience of writing novels. His novel The Gypsy and Yusuf Al-Mukhzanji recalls the myth of female in a distinguished way quantitatively and qualitatively. He almost gets a unique position in Arab and world fiction for recalling his modified female myths; his amazing literary works are aesthetically carved from the rocks of the caves of his enriched memories. Meantime, he derives his artistic mobility and thematic visions from his aesthetic techniques that brought his mythical motifs and modern novels out of their first stereotypical forms to multi-layered literary mytho-aesthetic forms. The supposition of this paper argues that recalling mythical female correlatives in this novel is likely to enrich the narrative reliability and dynamicity in terms of themes, style, and techniques. This paper advocates the creative evocation of such mythical objective allusions to insure the intertextaul and accultural aspects of the novel, thereby sustaining the stylistic dynamicity of the mythicized female characters, casting human semantic reflections on the novel.
Keywords: Myth, Female, Al-Kharrat, Mytho-analysis, stylistic aesthetic.
