Abstract

Protest in literature means to confront and rebel against various issues. This manifests itself in literature, especially in poetry. Poets, through their protest poetry and various purposes, remind the reader of the deceptive elements that attract attention, enlighten society, and provide exceptional value to protest in their work. The Jordanian poet Ayman Al-Otoum is one of the poets who has addressed the issue of protest. One of the most noteworthy features of Al-Otoum's poetry is its protest aspect. In this research, we study the reflection of protest in Ayman Al-Otoum's poetry. This study helps us recognize the most important protest factors that Ayman has identified. It also aids in understanding the phenomenon and motivation of protest poetry in the Levant, which plays a significant role in the life of the Arab community. The methodology of this study is descriptive-analytical. The most important result of this study is that the phenomenon of protest in Ayman Al-Otoum's poetry is manifested in themes related to internal and external political issues.
