Abstract

The study concluded that her articles are rich with numerous positive cultural patterns. Thus, this research presents a new perspective in the field of cultural criticism, suggesting that cultural patterns are not always negative and harmful, as stated by Dr. Abdullah Al-Ghadhami, a pioneer in this field, and other Arab critics who followed his lead. Instead, there are also positive cultural patterns present in both poetry and prose.
