Pain in Ghassan Kanafani’s Men in the Sun
Mohammed H. Albalawi
ABSTRACT:
Ghassan Kanafani’s Men in the Sun is an Arabic landmark that tells the plight of Palestinian people and unequivocally shows the harsh realities of the lives of many people who have been forced to resort to displacement and exile. The story exhibits various facets of pain and suffering through the experiences of traumatized characters and portrays the horrendous conditions under which these characters must bear. This study attests to the ways these experiences function as buttress for pain characterization and lack of control over themselves and their surroundings.
