Main Article Content
Abstract
The study addresses several key aspects of fear in the poetry of Hudhayl, starting with its linguistic and terminological definitions. The term fear is presented in linguistic dictionaries with various meanings, often intersecting with concepts such as panic, pessimism, and anxiety. Terminologically, fear is defined as a natural state of anxiety stemming from the anticipation of harm. It is considered one of the most significant emotions influencing human behavior, evident in daily life experiences. The research also explores the fear associated with the desert, which entails the dangers of isolation, hunger, and thirst, alongside representations of fear in animals, particularly domestic ones, which fear predatory beasts. Furthermore, it examines fears of invasion and punishment, reflecting the tribes' constant apprehension of sudden raids and acts of vengeance. In conclusion, the study argues that these diverse depictions of fear form an integral part of pre-Islamic Arabic poetry. Although fear is a recurring theme in such poetry, it does not signify cowardice but rather reflects the human instinct to exercise caution and vigilance against the unknown.
