Mohd Asif Dar
Abstract: This paper examines some poems of American English poet Sylvia Plath and Iraqi Arabic poet Nazik Al Malaika: two great female poets of twentieth century in the context of feminism. It explores their social, cultural, and religious diversity and the stunning commonalities between them under the patriarchal forces in their specific context. This study discusses the biographies and compares them to explore the analogies and disparities. The eight poems by each poet from their major poetry collections: ?Ariel? by Sylvia Plath and ?The night Lover? by Nazik Al Malaika were selected for analysis. First, the each poem was analyzed individually and then the common and different themes, characteristics, and poetic style were deducted and compared. All the comparative and analytical strategies used in any comparative, analytical, and systematic studies are applied here. The study explores the elements of interests in the form of analogy between the biographies of two poets and the selected poems in Arabic from Nazik Al Malaika s ?The night lover ' have been translated into English by the researcher of this study.
