Abstract
This thesis uses the feminist theory conducts a comparative analysis of Fadwa Tuqan’s Enough for Me and Mourid Barghouti’s Midnight, examining how each poet portrays resistance as a deeply personal and empowering experience. While Palestinian resistance literature often emphasizes collective struggle, this research explores how individual resilience, identity, and emotional strength emerge through poetic expression. Using postcolonial theory and literary analysis, the study investigates the use of metaphor, imagery, and tone to convey defiance and transformation. Drawing on both historical context and personal memory, the poets construct narratives that go beyond suffering to assert agency. The findings show that poetry, in this context, functions not only as a form of protest but also as a means of personal and cultural affirmation. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of resistance literature by highlighting how the poetic voice becomes a tool of empowerment and self-expression.
