In an attempt to discover the poetic, theatrical, and dramatic aspects of al-Hur Arriyahi by Abdul-Razzaq Abdul-Wahid, the researcher endeavors to explore the genre of this literary work in addition to explaining how the poetic and theatrical structures can harmonize. The researcher also inquires whether this work is appropriate for the stage or, like the rest of literary genres; it is just authored for reading. The researcher surveys the infrastructure of each of those genres which synergize to create this piece of art without mentioning the wonderful comparison made by Dr. Abdul-Wahid Lu’lu’a who judged it against (Macbeth) by Shakespeare since that study comprises all meeting and contrast points between the two literary works. Thus the researcher cannot add a valuable observation on the technical characteristics as well as the artistic values that have been comprised by (Lu’lu’a). I may have been extensive in some important joints due to their deep-seated valued contents. Hence I anticipate that it is appropriate and necessary to expand further in dissection as far as the research allows without drifting away from the basic target. The researcher, however, does not touch upon the (theatrical structure or characters) throughout the analysis process, because the former has witnessed important developments in literature worldwide, whereas the latter has accessed the setting of this literary work as complete creations. The researcher, on the other hand, does not favor unification of the terms such as (play, drama, poetry or artistic production) since the text amalgamate these titles (artistic genres) in an entangled, albeit, artistically harmonized and synergized way. Which creates a comprehensive, holistic and uninterrupted text?
