The Themes of the Female Persona in Nizar Qabbani's Poetry Compared to the Themes of the Female Persona in the Poetry of His Contemporary Female Poets: A Pragmatic, Analytical Study

Abstract

This article explores the extent to which Nizar Qabbani succeeded in addressing the themes of the female poets of his era in his poems, where the poetic persona was portrayed as a woman. The study delves into the primary themes of the female poetic persona in the works of both Qabbani and the female poets, drawing comparisons between them. The key question is whether Qabbani succeeded in affirming Salah Saleh's assertion that a man can sometimes describe the concerns and life of a woman more effectively than a woman herself, or whether he failed in this endeavor.
