The findings reveal that although both translations have many similar features in respect to some maxims of translation, in both of them gender ideology of the translator is a key figure in translating the gender related items/parts of the source text, as each translator uses his/her own gender ideology in the interpretation and transformation of the SL text into TL.

Although the narrator's evocation of the erotic and magical ambiance of the Nights reveals his intention to display himself as the Shahrazad of his memoir, his promiscuous behavior and violent conduct recall his congruity with Shahriyar. Moreover, Van and Ada's narcissistic love makes them morally blind to their half-sister, Lucette, who is associated by Nabokov with Dunyazade. This association leads to significant motifs in the novel, displays the unreliability of the narrator, and highlights Nabokov's moral art.

He has, thus, proposed the term "focalization" to make a distinction between the two components of narration. Later critics also proposed new aspects and dimensions to Genette's term and made it a key issue in Structuralist criticism. In this article, drawing on Genette's and other critics' views, we have tried to analyze how, through the interaction of different components of focalization, meaning is shaped. The study shows that "Kanizu" includes narrative complexities that are often ignored in traditional criticism.
