ملامح التشاؤم في شعر أبي العلاء المعري و أبي القاسم الشابي : قراءة موازنة

Abstract EN

Abu Alaa Al-Maarri and Abu al-Qhasim Al-Shabi share a very similar philosophic view to some of important philosophic matters in their poems including life, people, religion and politics.

To interpret the similarity between two poets distancing some centuries it can be said that mental, social, religious, traditional and technical factors are involved.

They both knew the Quran by heart and were born in religious families so in most of cases their view to religion, world and people was affected by religion.

Their social status was also similar due to weakness of governments and dissemination of corruption which created a similar view in them to rulers and corruption.

In mental perspective, they encountered with serious diseases led to blindness in one and death in another which affected on their poems; however this aspect is more salient in Abu Alaa’ poems.

In addition to these factors, other factors can be looked for in Al-shabi’s poem which is his devotion to Romanism literary school which affected on both his view to society and life and interpretation and poem style.
