The Psychological Dimension in the Short Story Collection "A Man and a Woman" by Sherif Abdeen

Abstract

The stories of the writer Sherif Abdeen offer an experience that enables us to immerse ourselves in diverse human relationships intertwined within a single place. The writer blends descriptive and informative meanings in his narration, highlighting the psychological dimensions of the presented stories in a way that inspires the imagination of the recipient. The writer focuses on building the stories and connecting them with symbolic references, revealing hidden structures that illustrate a continuous conflict between the present and the past, intertwined with future visions. The writer reflects the growing criticisms in a conflicting society through complex drama, evoking astonishment and strangeness through his stories that condense imaginative worlds and open them up to interpretation. The stories' questions address self-belonging as a source of linguistic production, relying on cultural, intellectual, and psychological rules. Sherif Abdeen's stories succeed in breaking through textual constraints and transforming texts into dramatic works where visions clash, departing from the concept of a simple text towards deeper complexity and semantic satisfaction.
