Arabic Abstract

المرأة و الحب من المواضيع وثيقة الصلة و من أكثر المواضيع المثيرة في الأدب.

لطالما كانت المرأة خاضعة لهيمنة الرجل و العادات و الأعراف المجتمعية إلا أن الشعراء استجابوا لمعاناة المرأة بأساليب مختلفة من حيث نقد ممارسة القمع على المرأة و نشر الوعي لرسم صورة جديدة للمرأة و لتشجيعها للتمرد على عدم مساواتها بالرجل و رفض الظلم الواقع عليها.

عاش قباني و هاردي في مجتمعات محافظة تفرض قيودا على المرأة و الحب، و كلاهما عانى من فقد الزوجات المفاجئ الذي احتاج وقت طويل لتجاوزه.

ذهب هاردي للتعبير عن مشاعره في الفقد و الندم بصورة غامضة و غير مباشرة لتفرض حالة من الحزن و الكآبة على قصائده بينما قباني و بعد وفاة أخته و زوجته الحبيبة ذهب للتعبير عن مشاعرة بكتابة قصائد لا تنسى و منها قصيده حملت عنوانا باسم زوجته "بلقيس" مفصحا بكل جرأة عن حبه لها كما لم يتوان في شعره عن التعبير لحبه للمرأة مستخدما التعبيرات الحسية تحفيزا للمرأة للثورة و المطالبة بالحرية.

English Abstract

The subjects of women and love are not only tightly related together but also one of the most influential themes in literature.

Women have always been depicted as dominated by masculinity and restricted by social customs and traditions.

Still, poetry and poets responded to their oppression in many ways, criticizing and spreading awareness to draw a new image of women and encourage them to rebel against inequality and gender discrimination.

Qabbani and Hardy lived in restrictive societies for women and love.

Both of them lost their wives suddenly and had a difficult time coping with this loss, but while Hardy went with vague and implicit expressions, and expressed his feelings of loss with regret and nostalgia, which make the tone of his love poems melancholic and gloomy, Qabbani after the death of his sister and beloved wife, wrote one of his most unforgettable poems entitled ‘Balqees,’ in which he voiced his bold views of love and women, using sensational language full of rebellious expressions to invoke women to call out for their freedom.
