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 .

INVESTIGATION OF MACROFUNGI IN THE MIDDLE OF IRAQ
...Show More Authors

The study aimed to survey mushroom species from fields among herbs, palm trunks, and trees in central Iraq and to identify them on the basis of morphological and molecular characteristics. As a molecular identification result with polymerase chain reaction six species were recorded (with eight isolates): Agaricus bitorquis (Quéllt) Saccardo. 1887 (SHA14); Candolleomyces candolleanus (Fr.) D. Wächter & Melzer, 2020 (SHA15); Cyclocybe cylindracea (D.C.) Vizzini & Angelini, 2014 (SHA13); Leucoagaricus hesperius Vellinga, 2010 (SHA16); Volvariella sp. (SHA17), and Volvopluteus gloiocephalus (D. C.) Vizzini, Contu & Justo, 2011 (SHA10, SHA101 and SHA12), belonging to four families of Basidiomycetes: Agaricaceae, Pluteaceae,

Presupposition in Poe’s Short story “The Black Cat
...Show More Authors

The notion of presupposition has been tackled by many linguists. They have found that the term ―presupposition” is being used in two different senses in the literature: semantic and pragmatic. As for semantic sense, Geurts (1999) has isolated some constrictions as sources of presupposition by making lists of presupposition triggers. Concerning the pragmatic sense Kennan (1971:89) uses the term pragmatic presupposition to refer to a class of pragmatic inferences which are, in fact, the relation between a speaker and the appropriateness of a sentence in the context. In spite of the fact that there are many researches that have been done in the field of presupposition but few of them in the field of short stories up to the researcher's kno

Decentralization in Iraq: Addressing The State – Society Gap
...Show More Authors

The implementation of decentralization in Iraq was asymmetrical, leading to different forms and paces of implementation. Comparing four cases of Basra, Kirkuk, Nineveh, and Sulaymaniyah indicate that these cases differ in their political stability and autonomy in a way that led to a different forms of decentralization. This paper argues that the higher the level of political autonomy from the federal government, the more efficient the governance model, and the more efficient the governance model, the more legitimate the system (trust), and the more legitimate a system, the more accountable elected officials. Therefore, it recommends reforming the institutional setup of decentralization by having districts, instead of provinces, as t

The Critical Components Of Developing English Language Curriculum
...Show More Authors

This study aims to discuss how English Language Textbook (ELT), used in Iraqi schools, can be developed. All Iraqi teachers in Iraq spend much time using ELT textbooks in classrooms, and most of the Iraqi students depend on these textbooks to learn and improve the English language, so choosing an appropriate ELT textbook is so essential. A suitable book must include critical components that fit teachers' and students' needs. The quality of ELT textbooks has been improved dramatically in recent years, even though these textbooks still do not meet students' needs, especially in language communication skills. This study seeks to investigate the most critical components that may make the ELT textbooks are more influential and interactive for Ir

The nonlinear optical properties of Epoxy/Alumina Nanocomposites
...Show More Authors

Linear and nonlinear optical properties of epoxy/ Al2O3 nanocomposites system were studied for epoxy neat and (0.5, 1.5, 3, and 5) % Al2O3 nanocomposites.The band gap of epoxy and its nanocomposites was obtained at these weight ratios. Nonlinear optical properties experiments were performed using Q-switched Nd:YAG laser z-scan system.These experiments were carried out for different parameters: wavelengths (1064 nm and 532 nm), laser intensities (0.530, 0.679, and 0.772) GW/cm2 and weight ratio of Al2O3 nanocomposites. The results showed that the band gaps were decreased with increasing the weight ratio of nanoalumina except at 5wt% and the nonlinear refractive index coefficient is directly proportional to the incident intensities while o
