The Image of The Animal In The Poems of Ibrahim Nasrallah, The Collection (Love Is Evil) As An Example

Abstract

     Since its inception, man has been linked to animals in a multi-beneficial and emotional relationship. This connection has led to valuable knowledge of the animal's life, nature and behavior. It has come in many forms, through which it has expressed the formality and image of the human relationship with it. Since the pre-Islamic era, animals have received attention and care, and man has often sanctified them. In them, he found a friend as well as an enemy. While camels and horses were his close friends, the wolves of the desert and its snakes were his enemies. The image that the poet Ibrahim Nasrallah presented was not stereotypical as previous poets had known it. The wolf participated in most of his poems, and the rest of the animals were limited to a few mentions. The reason for this is the poet's aggressive psyche, in which he wished many times to be a wolf. The wolf is always and forever treacherous and mean in nature, but the question that arises is why did the poet want that? What is meant by adopting this view, and does it reflect a certain social reality.?
