Antonymous Dualities in Abdullah Al-Baradouni's Poetry: The Poem (We and the Rulers) as a Model

Abstract

This study deals with the "phenomenon of antonymous duality in Abdullah al-Baradouni's poetry" through his poem (We and the Rulers) in an attempt to answer a question that is: What is the role of antonymous dualities in Abdullah al-Baradouni's poetry, especially in crystallizing the poetic image, and confirming meanings and connotations in the mind of the recipient through his poem: (We and the Rulers)?

The research concluded that those antonyms that came in the poet's text were the result of his philosophy towards the universe and man. The poet – often – cannot define the exact templates into which he pours his poetic experience before broadcasting it, but rather that experience itself insists on him, so it comes out in compatible linguistic templates, and perhaps this is the advantage of language in general and the language of poetry in particular. This feeling may reach the recipient in full, or in part, and it may not reach, and between all this, there is a critic who tries to probe those visions and touch these feelings. God bless.
