The NARRATIVE STRUCTURE in the POEM (TAKE WATER FROM MY EYELIDS) BY SHARIF AL-MURTADA

Abstract

This study explores the narrative techniques in Sharif al-Murtada's elegiac poem, examining how elements like events, characters, time, and space shape its artistic, aesthetic, and semantic structure. Using a deconstructive and analytical approach based on narratological frameworks, the research investigates narrative styles and multi-discourse integration. The study is organized into an introduction and two sections. The introduction defines narrative concepts, reviews narrative in ancient Arabic poetry, provides the poet's biography, and briefs the poem. The first section examines narrative dynamics, focusing on how events and characters enrich the narrative formation. The second section analyzes the dialogue technique, exploring both external dialogue and internal monologue, and highlights their vital roles in the poem. The study concludes with a summary of its most significant findings, demonstrating how narrative preserves harmony and adds intellectual diversity to the text.
