Abstract


This study examines the formation of fear in Az Zu'be's novels Al Annah (The Castration) 1992, and (Behind the Hyena) Wara'a Ad Dabie 1993. The objective of study is to monitor the dominating external reality in a clear symbolic sign of power and weak of human beings in the societies. It also symbolizing this fear with the values, ideas, behaviors, actions and visions that Az Zu'be records in his vision about man and the society he contemplates, and records his explicit attitudes towards him. These two novels constitute the unity of the subject, the idea, the internal generators, and the dominant idea, which is the idea of fear that generates its own symbols for the individual and the group. This strangeness in the events is what causes everyone to submit to the hyena without a slightest resistance that leads us to a moment of contemplation of what is happening? This contemplation may lead us to deconstruct and reconstruct the novel in a correct manner, guided by symbols in it.
