description This study endeavors to investigate the technique of description in the novel “The Ladies of Saturn” as one of the narrative techniques used by the author. Critics and scholars often viewed this technique negatively when compared to other techniques, especially narration. Furthermore, this research intends to investigate the ethods of its use, its patterns, and its role in adding connotations to the overall narrative level of the novel. The significance of this research lies in clarifying the pivotal role that description plays, contrary to its misconception being limited to marginal functions, and its inability to dirve the course of plot. In addition to its prevalence throughout the novel, the novelist - Lutfiya Al-Dulaimi – vividly porrtrays post-fall of Baghdad, aiming to capture through his words, the devistation and collapse that the city has experienced. This study seeks to elucidate the multifaceted role of description, highlighting its ability to perform various functions simultaneously. It does not disrupt the reader’s engagement, nor does it impede the narrative’s unless it fails to serve its purpose. If it were a disruptive as some critics have imagined, it could be dispensable. Thus, this study attempts to underscore the true value of this technique and illustrates its aesthetic qualities.
