The Study of “The I and the Other” in Hanna Mina's Novel "Al-rabie Va Al-kharif"

The issue of “The I and the Other” is one of the important issues dealt with by the Arab novel in general and the Syrian novel in particular, as it has become one of the most important critical concepts represented in postcolonialism. There are narrations that embody the conflict and clash between the West and the East, looking at the West with a negative view, as some of them paint the image of the other as a spiritual angel far from mistakes and look at him with a positive and open view and at himself with a negative view, that is, contempt. In this regard, the novel "Al-rabie Va Al-kharif" by the Syrian writer "Hana Mina" deals with the West represented by "Hungary / the Other", and its social and political conditions, and compares it with what it is "Arab Reality /I". Based on the foregoing, this study, according to the concepts of post-colonial criticism and the descriptive-analytical approach, aims to reveal the narrator's position, represented by the protagonist of the novel, towards the Arab ego and the Western one in the novel "Al-rabie Va Al-kharif". The study came up with results, the most important of which indicates that the voice of the oppressed Arab I and the voice of the beloved Hungarian Other dominate the "Al-rabie Va Al-kharif" novel. This appears through the two opposite indications in the title of the novel and the hero's descriptions of places, his view of women, and his feeling of spatial alienation.
