Abstract :
Literature plays various roles, the major function being expressing reality through the forms of the novel and the short story. Naguib Mahfuz, one of the outstanding Arab novelists, has special talents in this respect. He expresses social problems critically. The sexual crisis is one of the plights which is both discussed and challenged in his novels and short stories. He investigated sexual crises, especially among women, socially, philosophically, and psychologically, and considered that problem as political symbolism and not as his main theme.
