This paper aims to examine Colleen Hoover’s November 9 from a temporal perspective, showing how the element of time reveals a specific implication in the novel. The paper’s theoretical framework presents an overview of the significance of time in literature in general and the novel genre in particular. By choosing ‘November 9’ as a title for her book, Hoover implies that time is given special prominence that reflects itself in the whole narrative. Throughout the course of events, it is noted that time has a clear influence on the various aspects of the novel, such as theme, plot, structure, and characterization. The paper explores how each of these elements reflects the importance of temporality in the novel.
