The art of characterization is of utmost significance in Urdu Fiction. When Aristotle formed six basic elements of a tragedy,  he considered plot and characterization to equal significance. The creation of characters is an integral element of urdu fiction, excluding which cannot create good fictional work. Characters represent their time, locale, and profession. Among miscellaneous characters of Urdu fiction 'the personification of Moulvi' is an important one. This one is not only portrayed in poetry but also occupied a significant place in fictional narratives. Specially in fictional Urdu narratives this character depiction has got twofold appraisal because it is very important in terms of its impact in rural communities. This research article, in perspective of rural Punjab (Pakistan), is presenting varied descriptions of moulvi. In this way it is not only providing social assessing but also life, because fictional narrative is reflection of social life.
