The author was interested in the element of dialogue in concise language. He employed the novel art to attain the historical knowledge in a clear manner to record the time of events and characterize the characters and expresses their ideas directly and indirectly according to the analytical method. The relationship between content in the events of the novel and its historical reference is identical. In this novel there are technical problems as a traditional historical narrative. These problems are:the Employment of characters and how to attend the story and also the number of attendance and the loss of a realistic view of some characters and therole of characters in the novel. The author of the historical novel takes away the characters of reality. The author has not used the semantics of discourse in this novel and he has not used the Literary rhetoric methods such as alms and permissible in the prose.
