Secondary Characters in the Novels of Mohammad al-Ahmad

Narrative characters differ according to the roles assigned to them. Some of them are given broad roles through which they dominate the course of events in any fictional work, and they are the main characters. Otherwise, other characters appear with limited roles if compared to the roles given to the main character. These characters may be inherent to the character. The main character appears with her almost continuously or appears from time to time in the events of the novel, as these characters play a complementary role in which they help the hero or hinder his work, and often appear in the course of events to complete the narrative scene.
