The structuralist analysis is based to find elements forming the universal and to determine with which relations these elements in the narration text are connected to each other. The search of the structure in structural analysis done by two principal methods. The first one is practising this method on one single work or a group of works. The other method doesn’t target the work but focuses on the (art) disipline itself and analises the system. The structuralist method doesn’t target to reach a definite conclusion but to search the structure of the system. No text is able to express everything related to the research subject nor would it explain the narrative layers of the text. The basic problematic of the research is using the structuralist analysis method which is extensively used for theatre and novel.
