Abstract
This study aims to compare the structure of the main character in His Excellency the Dinosaur by the Portuguese Jose Cardoso Perez with the structure of the main character in Memories of a Dinosaur by the Jordanian novelist Mo'nes Al Razaz. Both writers use the “Dinosaur” to depict characters in their novels as embodiments of political thoughts through a type of narrative that can be classified as black comedy. The study accordingly will pursue how both characters develop in the narrative by offering a textual reading of the first appearance of the dinosaurs as problematic characters through their negative interaction with the surrounding environment, their willed self-encapsulation, their isolation, and then their extinction at the end.
