The Allegory And Irony Analysis In “I Grant Your Refuge” Poems By Hiba Abu Nada

---

This research explores the use of allegory and irony in Hiba Abu Nada’s poem “I
Grant Your Refuge”. The poem, written shortly before the poet's death in an
Israeli airstrike, serves as both a literary and historical document, portraying
the complexities of life under occupation. Using a qualitative descriptive
method with literary analysis, this study identifies the types and functions of
allegory and irony in the poem. Allegory is employed to symbolize collective
Palestinian struggles and spiritual sanctuary, while irony express a figure of
speech that stands in sharp contrast to the actual statement. These literary
devices allow for deeper symbolic meanings that transcend literal
interpretation, highlighting how poem can serve as a form of cultural survival
and resistance. It was found in “I grant your refuge” 2 types of allegories and 3
types of irony that reflects the suffering, resilience, and spiritual resistance of the
Palestinian people amidst ongoing conflict. The findings aim to contribute to
literary studies by emphasizing the significance of figurative language in conflict
literature and provide educational insights for students and teachers of literature.
