Abstract

The concealment enriches the literary text aesthetically and semantically, as through it the novelist launches into the strange and the surprising, and it is one of the effective elements in embodying the complexity of reality. The concealment was used to indicate the true motives of human existence and its relationship with oneself and others. Thus, concealing the truth and highlighting its opposite is the primary characteristic of embodying this element and revealing it. Concealment has its own code that is manifested in the characters of the novel, its events, time, and place. The novelist uses concealment to free the narrative from unilateral control, leaving room for interpretation and multiple readings, highlighting its artistry and beauty. One of the benefits of concealment is that it attracts the attention of the recipient, prompting them to follow the course of the story and etching the event into their memory. It also contributes to condensing the narrative. The novelist resorts to concealment to escape the constraints of censorship and to deviate from the deteriorating reality, expressing the painful truth through the use of language duality, irony, concealment, innuendo, and indirect satire, The concealment constitutes a distinctive feature in the novel "Tughrība Banī Ḥaṭḥūṯa" to the lands of the north, where Majīd Ṭūbyā adopted it as a strategy that had a significant impact on shaping the intellectual and philosophical horizon of the text.
