Abstract

This study aims to examine the problematic of the ego and the other in the poetry of the creative Libyan poet Abdel Hamid Bataw.It is a relationship that is governed by several factors and results in behaviors that we try in this study to monitor and stand on images of them and analyze them through poetic texts and clarify their implicit connotations that reveal in many aspects of the complex self crisis and its struggle with its surroundings in harmony and lack thereof.The study examines the suffering of the ego and perhaps its failures, which resulted from many paradoxes between the ambition it wants and a reality that contradicts it with the complexities of a reality that cannot be easily changed.Perhaps we realize that the ego and the other are dualistic, if the equivalence, compatibility and coherence between its poles are disturbed.And the poetic I emanates in its creativity from awareness of the poetic experience that is supported by the self after its overlap with the elements of life and its vocabulary that expresses the poetic experience.Sartre says: I need the mediation of the other in order to be what I am.The ego is the mirror of the other, and the other is the mirror of the ego, and one of them does not recognize himself except through the other, and there is no meaning for the existence of one without the other, and this is what we are trying to highlight in the production of the creator.We found them Ichaoran and Atjazbn, disagree and agree. As long as they keep each other. They are poetry and the self, two worlds, one does not live without the other. It is the unified ego with its poetic world in the creative poet, and this is what we try to highlight in this study
