Abstract

Conflict may arise within or outside the personality, revealing a set of ideas, behaviors, and psychological contradictions. The dramatic conflict also helped push the poet to detach himself by dealing with a specific incident, then he works to define his poetic path in the dramatic work, relying on his ingenuity in capturing some details that give him strength and the ability to cause tension in his dramatic work that leads to attracting the attention of the audience. This study presents the dramatic conflict and its structures in Al-Sayyab's political, social and emotional poem.
