دراسة مقارنة في دلالات شخصية المسيح عليه السلام في شعر محمود درويش و أحمد شاملو

Abstract EN

Mahmoud Darwish and Ahmed Shamlou are considered among the modern poets in the Arab and Iranian world.

the presence of different cultures in their poems is one of the common characteristics between them, which led to the worldwide fame of their poems.

Christian thoughts and Christian culture were among the common origins of their poems.

therefore, the presence of Jesus Christ and his stories were noticeable in the poems of both Darwish and Shamlou.

by employing this great character in their poems, these two poets were able to give their poetry more depth dimensions on the one hand, and on the other hand they were able to convey their themes and ideas with artistic expression.

the current paper aimed - through a comparative reading - to compare the poetry of Darwish and Shamlou about Christ and decode of the various connotations of it.

this comparison is based on the American school, and for this the comparison will be achieved without paying attention to historical studies and finding the common roots of influence.

the results obtained from this research revolved around the fact that the Christian examples is present in the poems of both poets and was used to express existentialism, Marxism, mysticism and emotional feelings, but the difference in the image of Christ by each of the poets lies in the fact that Christ in Darwish poetry was in some places a symbol of redemption and the new resurrection.

in other words, Christ had an analogy to creation myths such as Adonis and Tammuz, while it was not in Shamlou's poetry.
