Hanna Mina's novels after the year 2000 represented a complete narrative text that expressed the life of the Syrian people for nearly a century, reviewing the most important events that the Syrians experienced, from French occupation, popular resistance, persecution, killing, prisons, and the lives of the poor and peasants under feudalism, hunger, and disease. The researcher reviewed those novels according to what the Paris Semiotics School had brought. first level included a review of the images of the characters in the novels; those images were condensed into paths that led to their referral to a central thematic role that summarizes the characteristics of the characters in the novels.
