Abstract
The Iraqi novelist, Saad Muhammad Rahim, presented his novel "Foshat’on
Leljonoun" the form of a tragicomedic text to address the transformation process of
the main character and the place of the story. Thus, in this work, he highlighted the
two elements of character and place, and set a unison relationship between them, so
that his novel would be able to portray a part of human suffering and the place
resulting from the rule of government during the war. The present study used a
descriptive-analytic approach to focus on the main character of this novel to uncover
the artistic delicacies used to link it to some kind of place, using the theory of Y.
Lotman. Since the hero in terms of psychological dimension changes from a healthy
person into a mad man, it is called a transformation. The place was also called a
variable because the current conditions have affected it and have changed its
appearance. The study showed that Amer, the main and full-dimensional character
of the novel became mad or pretended to be mad after being tormented. Therefore,
he eluded to an unfamiliar region, changed his name to Hekmat or Hakku, so that he
could indirectly express his protest against the disorders of the status quo, especially
the abominable behavior of the government. Consequently, he attended variable
places, especially the open-closed ones, and made a relationship with them in an
evolving way. The places also changed themselves with the change of character’s
portrait.
