The vision and sociological formation of the image of women in the novel “Peace from the depths of the earth” by Maryam Al Hammadi

Abstract

Novels reflect social, cultural, economic and other aspects of life. Novelist Maryam Al Hammadi is one of the writers whose works are distinguished by their social character, as her novel "Peace from the Underground" is an expressive image of the social characteristics from which the writer started. The study revealed that the writer's starting point is society, as she worked to blend her starting point with far-reaching imagination, trying to address the problems of reality by drawing a far-reaching picture of the consequences of continuing with the prevailing social pattern.

The patterns of vision and formation controlled the literary work, as the writer revealed images of class conflict in society and its impact on the reality of life, and what it represents in terms of obstacles that prevent peace and renaissance of nations. The literary study of the novel revealed the psychological effects of conflict and wars, especially if wars turn from traditional to unconventional wars. All of these conflicts were melted in the crucible of the writer and revealed the depth of the gap between the ideal vision of life and lived reality. The novelist did not hide the patterns of the social image represented in the familial and religious aspects and the relationship of that perception to the state of social idealism that the writer is looking for, and she does not hide the possibility of its realization in the reality of contemporary life. The writer combined vision and formation in her sociological treatment of despair and hope, as hope represents the desired vision for what comes after realizing the cases of destructive conflicts, and despair represents the observed reality filled with conflicts, wars and strife between human beings.
