Abstract: (844 Views)
Mohammad Mahdi Al-Jawahiri, the Iraqi poet, is considered one of the most prominent poets of the twentieth century, and many studies have been written about his poetry. However, less attention has been given to his prose. Literary prose is almost the most prominent and dominant feature of Al-Jawahiri’s writings. This study aims to examine the literary and rhetorical aesthetics in Al-Jawahiri’s prose. The first part of this research focuses on the style of his prose, the second part on the aesthetics of taqdim (advancing) and ta'khir (delaying) in his prose, and the third part explores the narrative elements and their impact on his prose. The findings indicate that Al-Jawahiri, in most of his prose writings, discusses the cities he visited and the cities that forced him to reside in them. One of his greatest strengths is his ability to depict both the external and internal features of characters through speech, especially when writing about famous figures. Time is a fundamental element in his prose narratives, particularly in his book "My Memoirs", where time is embodied in words such as night, day, morning, evening, autumn, spring, sunset, and sunrise. Al-Jawahiri moves within the framework of place, driving his narrative forward and revealing the cinematic and realistic dimension of his prose. The realistic dimension of place in Al-Jawahiri’s prose serves as a starting point that clearly guides the reader toward the setting. Human and place in his narrative text focus on the law of action and reaction. Therefore, the degree of influence of the place on the human being — and the mutual effects between human and place — become evident in Al-Jawahiri’s poetry.
