Abstract The research aims to uncover the dark cultural dimensions within the novel "Crazy Night" by Mohamed Hamdan Ben Jirsh, utilizing the radiations of the text emitted by the author in an artistic manner within significant contextual data, embodying cultural frameworks. Creative text carries multiple dimensions that do not surface directly, and cannot be discerned from initial readings; these dimensions require delving into its depths in search of illuminating signals amidst its darkness.The study relies on simultaneous analysis and interpretation, perceiving its intellectual vision through tracking the events, identifying the characters, and then elucidating their carried ideology, principles, and beliefs, all while connecting them to the external environment. Fictional characters do not represent individual cases in a transient text; rather, they, consciously portrayed by the author, point to real-life social models. Therefore, a character could be a symbol referring to the ideology of a group that shares the beliefs of this character. Thus, we have focused on the most important elements and characters that open a window to the intellectual vision embedded in the narrative text, aiming to engage in dialogue with it, ultimately contributing to its re-creation within the critical space. The research axes were as follows: (The darkness of the main title, the cultural dimensions completed in the fictional text, entry into life, the window of hope, the first character: Salem/the flute, the second character: Hisham, the third character: Nour Saeed Al-Sari)
