الصورة الرمزیة لنخلة بقصر الحمراء

الملخص

The symbolic image refers to the thing which symbolizes it and embodies
the meaning in the recipient's conscience taking into consideration the
general context. The thesis of Al-Nibahi is based on a simple tale stating that
the palm, which had a venerable status among the Arabs because of its good
origin, ingrained springing and its delicious fruit, lost its status; however, it
continued standing in veneration and silence near the wall of Alhambra. This
palm has complained from harm and negligence, as it has warned of the
waste, and awakened the people to present the defect of its harm. This
research finds through these ideas that the palm was a symbol of the remains of the Arabic sovereignty which restricted to Granada. The complaints of the
palm warned and referred to the next threat. The presence of this image has
achieved by several rhetorical arts, the techniques of objective narration by
enlistment, description and presentation, and the techniques of subjective
narration by dialogue and retrieval. The symbol transforms the natural
phenomena into an idea, and an idea into an image; thus, the symbol has a
subjective meaning at the time it refers to unlimited meaning out of it and
depending on it.
