Abstract

The human endures many pains during his life. These pains are rooted in the deepest layers of the psyche. Pains that are mostly hidden and often manifest themselves in the form of superficial, vague, wandering and sometimes chaotic pains and in the form of trauma (psycho-wound). Psychowound is a psychological theory that deals with deep human wounds and reveals them. A psychological wound is a pain that is rooted in the depths of the human psyche and resurfaces every now and then, and it disrupts a person's life in a traumatic way. A psychological wound that has a desire to investigate and by hiding, reveals itself in the form of a tragic image. Tragedy (obituary) is a story of deep human pain, which is displayed with language (metaphor) and image (symbol) to make the "other" aware of itself and provide a context that, as an artistic and beautiful thing, heals the trauma in The format of the image and the display of a pain that is pleasurable can be expressed. In this research, we aimed to examine psychological wounds in some of Ahmad Mahmoud's works and note how the author configured psychological wounds with a tragic language.
