Abstract

This study attempts to show the role of using metaphor in clarifying the

image of martyrdom and martyrs in the poetry of Palestinian prisoners in

the Israeli jails. The study comprises two main parts. The first is concerned

with defining metaphor and its importance, as well as identifying Palestinian

prisoners’ poetry and its main features. The second is concerned with the

effect of using metaphor for clarifying the image of martyrdom and martyrs

in Palestinian prisoners’ poetry in Israeli jails.

The study also shows the occupation crimes, aggression and brutality. It

demonstrates the unbearable conditions the prisoners undergo in the Israeli

jails through the poetry they have composed behind the jail bars.

It describes martyrdom and martyrs by a heart- breaking rhetoric which

demonstrates the suffering from oppression and unlawful acts.
