Simile in the Maqamat of Al-Hariri and Al-Yaziji A Comparative Study

Abstract

The simile is the sharing of two parties in a characteristic, a state, or a group of characteristics, or states without meaning their identity, as each one of them remains different from the other, and the distinction remains between the simile and the simile, and the simile tool is the scientific manifestation of this distinction, because it is like a logical barrier that separates the two compared parties, and the researcher sought to study the simile in the Maqamat of Al-Hariri and Al-Yaziji and highlight the diversity in their styles, and the rhetorical goals of them were based on embodying the sensory image of the recipient; to add a touch of movement and beauty to the literary texts that the two writers chose in their presentation of the simile.
