Abstract

Characterization is an important element in literary work, especially plays,

because the writer can portray the characters in the theater to the audience brilliantly and efficiently. If we want to measure and evaluate these characters accurately, then we must not use personality theories in psychology; The most famous is Jordon Allport's theory of personality, which divides characters into main, central, and secondary traits. These attributes are part of a healthy and mature personality, the characteristics of which are reflected in the play and include the elements of self-concept expansion, intimate communication with others, emotional security, realistic awareness, skills and duties, true self-image, and a unified philosophy of life that summarizes our understanding of our actions and behavior. This research aims at the psychological analysis of the characters in the play " Mother's Salam play " by Fatima Abdullah, based on the theory of Jordon Allpurt, using the al-Qaim descriptive analytical method. The results of the study indicate that the main traits, such as the courage and bravery of Amina's sons and the spouses, and the central traits, such as the courage of Amina, and the secondary traits, such as the anger of Zeinab Khatiba Abdullah, are represented in the play. The author portrayed the elements of a healthy and mature personality, such as expanding the concept of self: Ma'eel Abbas and his jihad, intimate communication with others: Masoud's sympathy with Amina's sister, emotional security: Ahmad not going to war and respecting his mother because of worries about what happened to her before, realistic perception: Amina's joining the resistance at the end of the play, skills and duties: Amina's nursing, true self image: courage and courage of Amina's sons and couples Al-Shaheed, Philosophy of Al-Hayat al-Mawhada: The freedom of resistance figures.
