Studying the mutual relationship between literature and cinema and the emergence of the characteristics of each of these two arts in the other has been the focus of interest of many researchers in these two categories. Examining the cinematic potential of literary works has been the focus of scholars for nearly a decade. Authors of literary works, by knowing cinematic elements and using them in their works, make their works dynamic, and filmmakers, by adapting these successful literary works, find enduring themes and present them to their audiences. Most film adaptations are based on novels. Youssef Zidane is one of the authors whose visual abilities are evident in his novels dedicated to cinema. In this research, an attempt was made to analyze the text of the story of the sheikh in prison using the descriptive analytical approach and the comprehensive approach. Our goal in this research is to analyze the structure and content of the aforementioned novel and show aspects of its quotation from different angles. The results of the aforementioned research indicate that this novel has great potential for cinematic adaptation and screenwriting due to its cinematic structure, its accuracy in describing details, its directing and dramatic dialogues, and its ability to be serialized.
