THE UNITY OF TIME AND SPACE IN A LITERARY WORK

Abstract

The interplay of time and space in literary works is fundamental to shaping narrative structure, themes, and characters. This article explores how the unity of time and space operates in literature, creating a cohesive framework that enhances storytelling and reflects deeper philosophical, cultural, and emotional dimensions. From classical epics to modernist experiments, time and space have evolved as narrative tools that transcend physical and temporal boundaries. By examining their role across various genres and traditions, this study demonstrates how their integration enriches narrative depth, providing readers with a multidimensional experience.
