Abstract

The goal of this study, "Cultural Patterns in the Novel" Women's Charter by Haneen Sayegh, is to uncover a set of Druze cultural patterns through feminist biblical experience. These patterns are what gave the Novel its richness in details and phenomena, which the author expressed through the female character "Amal bunmer" in the text's narrative scenes. To achieve the goals, we divided the research into an introduction, a preface and four sections, the introduction focused on the reasons for choosing this novel, and the preface contained "the Druze community according to the perceptions of thought and belief," and the first section dealt with "imposed cultural patterns of religion," and the second section included " imposed social patterns that exist in society." The third section dealt with" rebellion against the imposed "religious and social" systems in society, "and the fourth section included" proving oneself and its vulnerability to social variables, " and we followed up our research with a conclusion that included a set of findings, and a list of sources and references approved in the research.As one of the comprehensive modern approaches that profited from other methods, this research picked cultural criticism as its method. It takes culture as its subject and prepares texts as cultural discourse rather than reading them as literary and aesthetic cases.
