This paper uses the narrative analysis method in order to cover some of the aspects of the novel, What you have always wanted by Gordana Ćirjanić. Those are mostly the formal aspects that consider the narrative point of view, time and way of storytelling as well as their combinations. On the other hand, this method allows us to systematically analyse the novel and thus establish its meaning based on the premises posed by this theory. Since narratology is a jagged discipline, we decided to use Gerard Genette’s terminology, interpreted by Adrijana Marčetić. According to Marčetić, the value of Genette’s narratology is in that “it can serve as a starting point in the analysis that simultaneously pays attention to the form and meaning of a narrated text” (Marčetić 2003: 8).
