Critical Evaluation of Values and Their Influences on Existential Modern Arabic Literature Survey of Two Novels by Muta Safdi Jilo al-Ghadr and Saeron Mohtarefon

Existentialism encourages human being to revolt against all of old values and create new values without defining criteria to recognizing correct and incorrect value.Muta Safdi has been really affected by Existentialism philosophy among Arab novel writers. He invites the existential characters of his two novels "Jilo al-Ghadr" (Generation of Fate) and "Saeron Mohtarefon" (Professional Revolutionist) to revolt against the values. By using analytical and critical method, this survey criticizes the values of two novels according to the religious culture of society. It seems that Safdi had been successful in creating existential characters that revolt against values, and their reason is belonging those values to the past without considering their positive or negative aspects. But he couldn’t resolve what Existentialism faces about the values after not accepting them. The existential characters especially women characters revolt against everything, and live according to their liking, but it isnt compatible with Arabic society was governed by religious culture.
