Analyzing Jabra Ibrahim Jabra Fictions from an Archetypal Point of View
Author(s):
Abstract:
Archetypal criticism, which is based on psychological criticism, is one of the main contemporary approaches of the literary criticism that explores the nature and characteristics of the myths and the way they function in literature. The current study aimed at investigating Jabra Ibrahim Jabras novels based on archetypal criticism perspective and the emergence of the collective unconscious dimension and mythology in the authors works. It was hypothesized that the author has focused on the archetypes or the collective unconscious level of the mind. The main research question was whether the authors novels can be reexamined based on hero archetype criticism and his return, death and rebirth. The selected novels by Jabra Ibrahim Jabra were analyzed using analytic-documentary methods on the basis of archetypal criticism. They were further analyzed via the return of hero archetypes, death and rebirth as well as the manifestation of archetype symbols of trees, mountains, valleys, caves, springs, wells and numbers. The analysis of the results reveal that hero archetypes, death and rebirth have been represented in Jabras novels and the author has employed symbols and mythologies to render them more meaningful.
