Abstract

Family is an ancient literary subject. From primitive myths and legends to works of contemporary magical realism, generations of literati and writers have tirelessly told the family’s story to the world. This research examines the theme of family in the Naguib Mahfouz and Ba Jin trilogy from the perspective of cross-cultural studies and aims to point out the multiple connections between both trilogies by means of illustrating their similarity and differences. This research reveals that Naguib Mahfouz and Ba Jin describe family life from an almost similar perspective. The similarities are wrapped in the form of the roles in the family, the patriarchal hierarchy, the dictatorship over children, the culture metaphors in patriarchal narration, the unhappy women, and the fact that each of the two writers wrote the novel to talk about his real world. On the contrary, the differences lie in the idealism in family, the use of family background, the complexity of China, the simplicity of Arab, and the different political circumstances.
