How to Study a Novel *j *
Separate notes
You will definitely remember the characters, events, and features of a novel more easily if you make notes whilst reading. Use separate pages for different topics. You might make a record of
  • characters
  • chronology of events
  • major themes
  • stylistic features
  • narrative strategies

Characters

Make a note of the name, age, appearance, and their relationship to other characters in the novel. Writers usually give most background information about characters when they are first introduced into the story. Make a note of the page(s) on which this occurs. Note any special features of main characters, what other characters (or the author) thinks of them.

Chronology of events

A summary of each chapter will help you reconstruct the whole story long after you have read it. The summary prompts the traces of reading experience which lie dormant in your memory.
A chronology of events might also help you to unravel a complex story. It might help separate plots from sub-plots, and even help you to see any underlying structure in the story - what might be called the 'architecture of events'.

Major themes

These are the important underlying issues with which the novel is concerned. They are usually summarised as abstract concepts such as - marriage, education, justice, freedom, and redemption. These might only emerge slowly as the novel progresses on first reading - though they might seem much more obvious on subsequent readings.
Seeing the main underlying themes will help you to appreciate the relative importance of events. It will also help you to spot cross-references and appreciate some of the subtle effects orchestrated by the author.
Stylistic features
These are the decorative and literary hallmarks of the writer's style - which usually make an important contribution to the way the story is told. The style might be created by any number of features:
  • choice of vocabulary
  • imagery and metaphors
  • shifts in tone and register
  • use of irony and humour

Quotations

If you are writing an essay about the novel, you will need quotations from it to support your arguments. You must make a careful note of the pages on which they occur. Do this immediately whilst reading - otherwise tracking them down later will waste lots of time.
Record page number and a brief description of the subject. Write out the quotation itself if it is short enough. Don't bother writing out long quotations
. Maps and diagrams
Some people have good 'visual' memories. A diagram or map may help you to remember or conceptualise the 'geography' of events.

Chapter summaries

Many novels are structured in chapters. After reading each chapter, make a one sentence summary of what it's about. This can help you remember the events at a later date. The summary might be what 'happens' in an obvious sense (Mr X travels to London) but it might be something internal or psychological (Susan realises she is 'alone').
Deciding what is most important will help you to digest and remember the content of the novel.
Events or characters may have significant links between them, even though these are revealed many pages apart. Always make a note as soon as you see them - because they will be very hard to find later.

Use a dictionary

Some novelists like to use unusual, obscure, or even foreign words. Take the trouble to look these up in a good dictionary. It will help you to understand the story and the author, and it will help to extend the range of your own vocabulary. If you need help choosing a good dictionary for studying, have a look at our guidance notes on the subject.
Bye-bye for now

Salaam sister
I can’t thank you enough for sharing us those priceless steps!
Thanks a Million!
Apart from those steps you already mentioned, one, especially 'beginners' like myself and those who are English is not their major or even those who get bored easily and quickly, can start with the simplified versions rather than the 'horrible' original ones!
Simple starts always make success!
The other thing one can do is simply ‘forgetting’ that s/he is ‘obligated or forced’ to ‘study’ a certain novel and instead s/he can try to enjoy it .. read it .. live with it !
Last but not least, for those who are required to ‘study’ the novel, they can ‘talk about it’ to others, ‘explain it’ to others, or even to read the summary aloud for themselves!
That will make it easy peasy nice and easy : )
Explaining things make them clear for us not only for others !
You’ll lose nothing .. just try it !
Thanks once again sister
Wish you the best and excuse my English

In general , I highly recommend that each of us shall consider reading as a top priority in his / her life regardless of the languages of the books being read . I noticed that we as Arabs lacks in knowledge due to our lack of reading
I enjoy reading Novels / writing them in both Arabic as well as English
