Background & Statement of the problem: The study attempts to investigate the dramatic tendency in Abu Nawas’s poetry based on those expressive linguistic energies that not only translated the poet’s life situations, but also brought them clearly closer to the recipient.
Objectives: The study aims to reveal the dramatic tendency in Abu Nawas’s poetry by examining the poet’s use of the elements of narration, description, conflict, and event based on the dramatic manifestations represented by movement, sound, color, and dialogue at its two levels: dialect and monologue.
Methods: The study follows the descriptive analytical method based on recalling poetic evidence indicating the study’s hypothesis and analyzing it.
Results: The study concludes that the Arab poet has relied since ancient times on the technique of storytelling, which is not devoid of dramatic elements. Which completely negates the fact that drama is related to contemporary poetry. And the truth about the dramatic tendency of the poet Abu Nawas in a remarkable way in his various poetic works, in which he worked hard to translate his ideas dramatically, especially wines, parcels, and indecency.
Conclusions (Recommendations and contributions): The study recommends the necessity of examining the motives of this tendency, and the extent to which it relates to alcohol, expulsions, and promiscuity, given that the poet made them main purposes in his poetry.
