Woman’s Literature between Pleasure and Persuasion: Abi Aswad Daouli’s Wife dDbate with Her Husband as a Case Study

Abstract

This study aims to uncover woman’s literature which has long been obscured, especially that of antiquity and to highlight the artistic and creative aspects of this literature. It also seeks to highlight how women’s use of persuasive mechanisms and rhetorical methods could combine the two elements of persuasion and pleasure to which novel rhetoric devoted a wide range of study and research.

The study adopted the historical method in its monitoring and analysis of events that occurred in a certain historical period. It also used the description mechanism and the various mechanisms of pilgrims. The study concluded that the woman was able to produce a speech that combines artistic pleasure and a strong and compelling argument.

It also concluded that the woman, in addition to her eloquence and eloquence, was distinguished by great intelligence, wide wisdom, high experience in the reservoirs of the human soul, and an understanding of the methods of her silence and response, which increased the strength of her speech and its beauty.

In light of the results, the study recommends the following: 1- A collection of all women’s etiquettes contained in books within ancient Arabic literature, categorizing them according to genres, genders, and topics. 2- Conducting other studies of women’s literature in the ancient era that show the artistic and rhetorical aesthetic aspects and the strength of her discourse and the depth of its topics.
