The stolen self Antara and Al-Hutay'a balancing vision

Arabic literature, with its two parts, poetic and prose, was and still is a rich material with many literary and critical propositions. Its features are clear in Antarah and Al-Hutay'a, the two poets who came close in one aspect of their social and psychological conditions, and separated in another aspect of them, which left its impact on their poetic production, which reflected in a large part of its aspects a psychological complex represented by the feeling of stripping the self from its existence, as a human entity. Completely, the other, with its cruelty, robbed it of this human orientation, and this theme was the source of inspiration for them in their orientation towards addressing this other in all its forms, which vented out their selves, both negatively and positively. Our means for this is their poems that revealed their inner selves in relation to this other, and that negative self.
