The prejudice in poetry criticism Its forms and its impact on the movement of criticism

Abstract

The research attempts to root the prejudice as a critical definition, and searches for its forms, and discusses its impact on the movement of criticism, and stands at two examples of critical texts with study and analysis. After defining the prejudice based on its linguistic origin and the uses of writers and critics for it, the research traces prejudices in these texts. The importance of this study is that it is the basis on which this definition of the prejudice will be built, and the disclosure of its impact on the movement of criticism.

     The research aims to develop an appropriate objective definition of the prejudice, and apply it to the critical judgments made on poetic texts, and defining the forms that prejudice comes in to rid the criticism of the prejudices that got stuck in it, and distinguishing pure criticism from prejudice, and then explaining the effect of this prejudice and revealing its motives and causes.

     The study was conducted according to an integrative approach in extrapolating the linguistic and idiomatic meanings of prejudice to define

prejudice as a critical definition, and standing at critical judgments and the readings and opinions issued on them using analytical tools, and study these rulings by reconsidering their argument and the critic’s view that he launched to clarify his motives and goals from them, and how this term affected criticism and its development. The research reached several results, the most important of which are:

1. The prejudice can be rooted in criticism by setting limits to its definition. It is derived from the uses of critics and writers for the meaning of its word related to its linguistic origin. It can be said that prejudice: Is the issuance of monetary judgments without right, and the task of seeking the cause in a wrong place, and the release of false pretexts to prove a defect unfairness.
2. The prejudice is a critical definition because it is related to monetary judgments from one direction of meaning, and because criticism is mixed with aspects of prejudice from another direction.
3. The impact of prejudice on criticism, as well as the movement of criticism and contributed to its progress, and discussing the absolute provisions of criticism by returning to the poetic texts to which these provisions were called and this prejudice signed.
