The Self and the Other in the Poetry of Alandalus Prisons

Abstract

Abstract The imprisoned soul of the poet discloses a modern critical idiom .It represents that soul , which suffers sadness and cruelty inside the prison in addition to the treatment of the jailers .The research shows how the soul endures the prison .The other ,who represents the authority is negative ,because the other obliges the person to ask for sympathy and mercy in order to get freedom . In the this state the person feels humiliated. We find another person who visualizes the prison that creates disapproval and aversion . He feels unfamiliar with the place ,so he calls it a dark bottom ,a tomb , a dark black mansion ,humiliation house and a few other names .These names reflect the person's bitterness and dullness . He blames fate and its vicissitudes . Sometimes he surrenders , or in other times he blames fate while he recollects his days with family and friends .
