English abstract
This study aims to cast light on redundancy arising from constant repetition in Taha Hussein's writing - a characteristic of his style that critics widely acknowledge. To do this, it addresses such questions as why this feature is so common, whether blindness is related to it, whether it should be seen as creativity or incompetence, and whether there are key places in the writing where it occurs. To answer these questions, the study is divided into two sections. The first section discusses repetition and its various forms, examining its theoretical and technical aspects and critical opinion on it - and especially with respect to The Wretched of Earth. The study's second section comprises three parts. The first talks about the main functions of repetition – its place in expressionism, for example – while the second assesses repetition's overall influence and rhetorical power. The third part deals whit poetical effects. Basically, the study uses a formalist critical approach, focusing on such stylistic features as diction, tone and structure to reveal and consider the strengths of Hussein's work. The study concludes with results and findings which may act as a basis for more extensive investigation and research,
