The structural approach is one of the criticism curricula that appeared in the twentieth century. It then became an original curriculum of literary criticism. The present study aims to introduce the structural approach, its inception and advantages, and sheds light on its most important advantages and disadvantages, and its objectives. Structural analysis primarily focuses on the levels of language to reveal the aesthetic secrets and creativity in the literary text. The present study is divided into three sections. Section one tackles the emergence of the structural approach, definition of the concept of structure, and the most important features of the term referring to the levels of structuralism and its influence on the treatment of literary texts. Section two discusses the concept of formative structuralism. Section three is devoted to structural analysis and the application of the levels and rules of the structural approach in analyzing Saeed Al-Zubaidi’s poetry.
