Thesis Objectives:
This thesis aims to identify and analyze the binary oppositions in the collected works of the poet al-Hājarī in order to uncover the aesthetic dimensions of the creative text, clarify their role in shaping poetic imagery, and explore the fundamental inner conflicts they reflect within the human psyche, in addition to highlighting the aesthetics that arise from contrast and tension between the two poles of each binary opposition.
Key Findings:
The study reached several conclusions, most notably that al-Hājarī’s poetry includes numerous binary oppositions that vary between psychological, social, intellectual, ethical, and other forms of contrasting pairs.
After an extensive discussion by the members of the examination committee, the thesis was approved with the grade of “Pass.”
