The factor model theory is one of the approaches that literary studies are based on; this means that the factor model is a set of changes, and these changes are interconnected or sequential transformations that occur to the characters according to a rule related to the factor model. The factor model was formulated in order to determine the factors and functions between the narrative components. The factors and semantic axes in the factor model are based on knowing the events in the narrative text; as the characters are known through the roles in which they participate and these roles are formed from the functions attributed to them. This research relied on studying the factor roles and narrative planning in the duality "Arz Zikola" by Amr Abdul Hamid in light of Greimas' factor model theory. Among the most prominent axes of this study: studying the factor roles and the narrative component through analysis, taking into account a set of cases and transformations that distinguished the characters of the novel through the roles they perform and it appeared that the factor roles among the characters are present in a series of events that are in reality nothing but a series of intertwined cases and transformations; These characters establish inter-individual relationships through factor roles and finally the narrative plan was analyzed through the elements of movement, eligibility, achievement and reward. We noticed through the narrative plan, the presence of the six factors (self, sender and others) in this duality.
