This paper aims at studying realism in the feminist novel in both
Jordan and Palestine. It starts by giving a thorough definition of realism
and what it means, within exactly the domain of literary criticism. As in
other literary trends and approa
ches, there seems to exist an evident
discrepancy among these viewpoints, that is to say in how these schools
view realism. Realism appears to be prevalent in the Jordanian and
Palestinian novel, as a result of various factors. Furthermore, a number of
effects from within the literary movement itself participated in the
dominance and the materialization of this trend.
