"The Self" in the Literature of Osamah Bin Monqith

Dr. Mysar Salem AL-Shwarah

Abstract

This study deals with a poet who enjoys an eminent status of heroism, courage and combat advantages in a period when hardheartedness takes over and hearts loathe each other, souls drowned in it,, and doors were tightly closed. However, the poet's voice is still banging high, howling into the horizon signifying the internal feelings and emotions as well as the spiritual changeable moods. His emotions alternate towards his life stages .He lives and adores the stage of cavalry as a faith followed by his family. However, he stumbles in the remaining stages of his life which might be viewed by others as natural and inevitable to face. Anyway, this is completely rejected with all details by Osamah Bهn Monqith who blames time and accuses it most of his misfortunes which overburden his shoulders to which he does not surrender, rather he attributes it to the inevitability of death which he absolutely believes in.
