Abstract

The Arabian Woman poet tackled the image of  man as being her husband. She recorded in her poetry the status of the husband and the three major aspects which he represents. The First major aspect is the desired qualities that should be found in the husband such as security and protection.
The husband's loyalty is a source of joy to the wife that affirms security and safety.  The wife, moreover, boasts of the hero husband when he fights to defend her and struggles diligently to achieve security for her.
The sharing or participation issue on the part of the husband to his woman in helping her to attain her goals and dreams is considered a vital request to her.
However, it is a lost model in the Arabian man. The Arabian Woman Poet also boasts of the good morals and the good company of her husband who plays important social roles in his society.
The Second major aspect is the unwanted or the undesired qualities that could be found in a husband such as despotism, masculine domination, and betrayal on his part; the latter is indeed a pure crime to his wife's feelings and emotions. In addition to suspicion and being fully occupied to pay any attention to her.
Nevertheless, the wife suffers from the loss of her husband and its terrible psychological outcomes and the fact that she could spend the rest of her life living in her own shell of happy and painful memories.
Furthermore, she has not forgotten to depict the physical features of her husband describing his youth، power, and his ability to fulfill with absolute self determination the demands of life.
