Description

This research analysed the implicit elements in Al-Wahrani's dreams and narratives by investigating the personality archetypes of his era and the themes inside these dreams and tales. The paper concentrated not on all characters, but specifically on elite models that exemplify political, cultural, and religious authority. The article analysed Al-Wahrani, the Ayyubid period, and contemporary writing models, there after concentrating on Al-Wahrani's canonical literature and his character within his writings. The report presented various findings, the most significant of which were: Al-Wahrani did not chronicle the histories of these figures; instead, he approached their narratives from his unique perspective, diverging from traditional literature. He consciously adopted an innovative writing style, recognising it as the most effective means to convey his insights on society and humanity, particularly the transformations occurring during his era. His satirical treatment of literary forms such as dreams, letters, and maqamat positions his work as a precursor to the concept of the Republic of Letters.
