Abstract
Modern poems are full of different techniques, including irony, as the scope of this technique has expanded, and many studies have included this type of literature to reveal the aesthetics of the poetic text. Irony has its literary beauty in contrast and disagreement with the familiar. This study attempts to shed light on the paradox of the situation in Zahran Al Qasimi’s poems, and focus on Poetic language, condensation, linguistic shifts, metaphor, metaphor, metonymy, and simile. We rarely find in contemporary poetry a paradox that carries different colors, according to Miwick’s theory, such as drama, predicament, event, and simple, which is called the paradox of the situation. Miwick tries to give definitions of the types of irony to distinguish between them in order to reach the position of the victim of irony or the irony of the situation, and most of them were extensively employed by the poet Zahran Al-Qasimi in his poetry collection “The Cytoplasm”, which deserved study, along the lines of the descriptive and analytical approach, to show the extent of the text’s effectiveness with irony. And describing the density of images immersed in literary intertextuality. The research attempted to combine ancient rhetoric with modern techniques to clarify the various paradoxes in Zahran’s poetry, and wants to answer two basic questions: What are the obvious paradoxes in Zahran’s poetry, and how is the paradox of the situation characterized in Zahran’s poems? The research reached several results, after giving poetry its due due by analyzing the poems and showing the irony of the situation in each of its types - that Zahran tends toward pictorial irony, especially dramatic irony, more than others.
