Manifestations Of Dreams In The Novel " Mirror Of The Soul" By Nabila Abboudi

Abstract

Arab women in general and Algerian women in particular, strive to assert themselves and secure a place in the world of thought and creativity. However, this endeavor has not been explicit due to societal constraints and the novelty of their engagement in such experiences. Consequently, they have resorted to embedding their thoughts, concerns, and aspirations in various forms, such as making their preoccupations manifest as dreams experienced by the characters in their feminist novels.

In this article, we will explore the thoughts of an Algerian novelist who has been imbued with the principles of global Arab scientific culture. She exemplifies a creative woman who has infused her dreams, aspirations, fears, and anxieties into her works. Through the dreams of the characters in her novel "Mirror of the Soul," she portrays the struggles, desires, and aspirations of Algerian women for a bright future, and the obstacles that hinder the fulfillment of their creative entity and independent self. By examining the novel "Mirror of the Soul," we will uncover perspectives on societal issues and the reality of women's experiences.
