The search for Sanctity and Divine Love « The Narrow Door » Andre Gide: À la recherche de la sainteté et de l’amour céleste dans « La porte étroite » d’André Gide.
...Show More Authors

The theme of love has been and still is the interest of authors and writers for it is closely related to people’s lives. That great passion has helped them express genuine thoughts pertinent to that theme that has given rise to many debates, some are vague and others controversial. In his (strait is the gate), (La Porte étroite), André Gide has sought to shed light on his characters perspective of love and its relationship with sacredness and divine happiness. Indeed these characters have found often themselves restrained, chained and exhausted, by tough religious commands that have imposed on them spiritual commitments and duties too hard to break.

André Gide has revealed a protestant deviation from the perfection theme that has caused a misunderstanding and misinterpretation of the Bible concepts.

       The writer has presented this perfection and this ideality through a free hypothesis to make up for the failure that some of the characters have undergone due to this personal misinterpretation.

      All these characters have been united by one goal and one desire to realize love and happiness. However, because of adopting a personal vision in analysis, they were caused to live under a clear illusion. Elissa has always thought that her behavior is ideal. In this way she has destroyed her youth, terminated her existence and disappointed Jerome’s hope who has kept faithful to her love.

     This novel has ended with a family tragedy in the name of sacredness and divine love.

This research is divided into different sub themes; among which are :

1-Two paradoxical ways .

2-Towards holiness and reunification with God .

3-Isolation and Frustration .

This research adopts the objective analysis methodology, through analysis unit ( unity of subject).

Résumé.

Depuis longtemps, le thème de l’amour était et sera lié étroitement avec la vie de l’homme. Au niveau de la littérature, ce thème permet aux hommes de lettres d’exprimer les idées et les pensées les plus originales. Il ne faut pas nier que cette passion suscite d’innombrables définitions et interprétations tantôt ambiguës, et tantôt controversées.

      Dans « La porte étroite », Gide s’efforce de mettre en lumière les points de vue de ses personnages envers l’amour et son rapport avec la sainteté et le bonheur divin. Puisque ces protagonistes sont accablés par une éducation religieuse répressive qui leur impose une obligation et un devoir spirituel dont il faut s’engager.

     Dans ce récit, Gide révèle une déviation protestante de la perfection chrétienne. Il présente ce parfait et cet idéalisme comme une hypothèse gratuite pour remplacer quelques insuccès dans la vie de ses personnages qui ont mal compris et mal interprété les paroles bibliques. Ces personnages ont le même but et le même désir, c’est de réaliser l’amour et le bonheur. Mais chacun d’eux adopte une vision subjective, raison pour laquelle ils vivent dans une cécité complète. Après avoir mesuré l’utilité de sa recherche de la sainteté et de l’amour divin, Alissa est parfaitement convaincue que sa conduite était idéale. Elle détruit sa jeunesse et son existence par un acte gratuit, tandis que Jérôme reste fidèle à son amour.

    Les deux amants sont victimes d’un drame familial où ce récit finit par un suicide volontaire au nom de la sainteté et de l’amour céleste.

Cette recherche est divisée en trois titres principaux :

1-Deux chemins contradictoires .

2-Vers la sainteté et la communion en Dieu .

3-Solitude et désespoir .

Dans ce travail, nous avons recours à la méthode thématique et analytique .

Corrosion Inhibition of Medium Carbon Steel in the Acidic Medium Using Alcoholic and Aqueous Extract of Kujarat Tea Plant
...Show More Authors

This study deals with the corrosion inhibition of metal corrosion process of medium carbon steel using 1M HCl for kinetic studies and rate reaction determination. The weight loss method is applied to pieces of Medium carbon steel divided to Cubans with dimensions (0.4*2*2.4) cm , and use Tafel Extrapolation Method, the samples were polished using carbide silicon paper with dimensions of (180,200,400,600,800,1000). The samples were immersed in the alcoholic medium ethanol at a temperature 293K for 3hr. Natural inhibitor Kujarat Tea (Hibiscus sabdarriffa L.) is used which is extracted in aqueous and alcoholic medium, different concentrations (1000،2000, 3000) ppm have been used ; The best concentration found through the results is a

Effect of cold and hot aqueous extract of garlic on the reproductive performance of immature male mice until puberty
...Show More Authors

This study was investigated the role of garlic extracts on the reproductive functions, via the development of immature male mice (25 days old) un l puberty. Immature male mice were divided into 3 groups (n=25). Group 1 "control" was daily administrated with tap water. Group 2 was daily administrated with cold aqueous garlic extract. Group 3 was daily administrated with hot aqueous garlic extract. Each group was randomly consisted of 5 subgroups (n=5/ subgroup) and administrated for different periods i.e, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 weeks respectively. Animals were scarified after 24 h from last treatment. Our findings elucidated that, cold and hot aqueous garlic extracts, when administrated at 25 days old (Immature period) have different impact dep

Synergistic Interaction in the adsorbed mixed surfactants film of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine on Liquid – Air Interfacial
...Show More Authors

In the present work, the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the solution of Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as anionic surfactant, Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) as amphoteric surfactant, and their mixture have been determined using surface tension and conductivity measurements at a temperature range 293 -323 K. The adsorption and thermodynamic micellization parameters (?G?m, ?G?ads, ?max ,Amin,?cmc ) for individual surfactants was calculated. Rosen model which is focuses on the adsorbed mixed surfactant film at the air/solution interface was used to calculate the interaction parameter ( ?? ) at the interface and the activity coefficients g1 and g2. The results indicate that the CMC of the individual surfactants was affected by

Calculation of the Magnetic Dipole and Electric Quadrupole Moments of some Sodium Isotopes using Shell Model with Skyrme Interaction
...Show More Authors

         In the present work, the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments for some sodium isotopes have been calculated using the shell model, considering the effect of the two-body effective interactions and the single-particle potentials. These isotopes are; 21Na (3/2+), 23Na (3/2+), 25Na (5/2+), 26Na (3+), 27Na (5/2+), 28Na (1+) and, 29Na (3/2+). The one-body transition density matrix elements (OBDM) have been calculated using the (USDA, USDB, HBUMSD and W) two-body effective interactions carried out in the sd-shell model space. The sd shell model space consists of the active 2s1/2, 1d5/2,

...Show More Authors

In this work, Titanium oxide thin films doped with different concentration of CuO (0,5,10, 15,20) %wt were prepared by pulse laser deposition(PLD) technique on glass substrates at room temperature with constant deposition parameter such as : pulse (Nd:YAG), laser with λ=1064 nm, constant energy 800 mJ , repetition rate 6 Hz and No. of pulse (500). The structure , optical and electrical properties were studied . The results of X-ray diffraction( XRD) confirmed that the film grown by this technique have good crystalline tetragonal mixed anatase and rutile phase structure, The preferred orientation was along (110) direction for Rutile phase. The optical properties of the films were studied by UV-VIS spectrum in the range of (360-1100)
