<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the factual elements of the story in Naguib Mahfouz's novel Afrah al-Qubbah using Robert Stanton's Structuralism approach. The focus of this study covers three intrinsic elements classified as factual elements of the story, namely characters, plot, and setting. The method used is qualitative descriptive with the technique of reading and noting the text of the novel. The results of the study show that the characters, plot, and setting have structural connections that form a complete story. Abbas, as the main character, becomes the center of conflict through the manuscript he writes, which reveals the reality of his family and raises moral, emotional, and social conflicts. The plot develops systematically through the stages of exposition, complication, climax, and resolution, which reinforce the tragic nuances in the story. The social setting, place, and time also support the development of the conflict and illustrate the breakdown of values in society. Overall, these three elements are integrated in constructing meaning and presenting social criticism, thus emphasizing the importance of the structural relationship between intrinsic elements in forming the totality of the novel's meaning.]]>
