Semiotics of Passions in Wild Animal Stories

Abstract

    This study deals with the semiotics of passions in the stories of wild animals scattered throughout the folds of pre-Islamic poetry, and emerging from the poet’s digression to liken his camel to them, where it draws forms of images of the struggle for survival that humans and animals lived at that time, and symbolizes the suffering of the Arab man from forms of annihilation, and despite his certainty of the inevitability of that, he is troubled by psychological anxiety from the unknown that accompanies him, and his feeling of fear and weakness exhausts him, he who has always praised strength and courage and rejected weakness and cowardice.
