The resonant call of the poet, though profound, is inevitably eclipsed by the enduring and primordial nature of one's homeland; it remains a perpetually innate affection. This paper, the second instalment in a tripartite series, seeks to elucidate the expertise, familiarity, and proficiency of Abdullah Al-Faisal as expressed through his poetic oeuvre, while concurrently illuminating his profound loyalty to the extensive and illustrious territory to which he is indelibly connected. This research commences with a brief overview of poetry and its cultural significance, before delving into the context of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, particularly focusing on the relationship between poetry and the concept of homeland. Subsequently, the study examines the literary contributions of the poet Abdullah Al-Faisal, with a primary emphasis on his poem "The Redemption."

The origins of drama and theatre can be traced back to religious ceremonies, choral odes, and ceremonial gatherings, as well as historical pageantry. Through the medium of drama, social change can be actively influenced and public consciousness regarding societal matters can be heightened. The collective arts, such as theatre and drama, hold significant value as they epitomize social cooperation and foster a sense of community among individuals. By emphasizing the necessity of considering the needs and perspectives of others, theatre and drama serve as powerful mediums for promoting social empathy and understanding. This research, which is part of a series looking at Saudi theatre and drama, aimed to offer insight into the beginnings, challenges, and evolution of Saudi play. This study contributes to the field of Saudi drama by conducting a critical assessment and analysis of the social comedy "From Under the Chairs", a play that has not been previously examined in this manner. The play serves as a representative example of the cultural landscape of the 1980s, which marked a pivotal era in the development of Saudi drama. By exploring the originality and significance of this play, this study sheds light on the evolution of Saudi theatre during this transformative period. An analytical and critical approach was used in the analysis.

The natural beauty of the country narrates the enduring tale of love for a nation; even the sounds of nature found room for admiration and praise. The researcher plans to emphasize the poet's erudition, knowledge, skill and ability while also signifying the poet's respect and admiration for his homeland, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through some verse lines of the poem "Sunset Garden" by Ghazi Al-Gosaibi.

He has greatly influenced the English literature in the first half of the twentieth century. Eliot’s works are marked for their innovative quality and rich ambiguity. As such, they lead to a variety of interpretations. Eliot emerged as a major proponent of poetic plays for which he also made adequate ground in his criticism. With the publication of the first two plays – Murder in the Cathedral and The Family Reunion – the case for poetic drama was furthered and strengthened, and it caught the imagination of other contemporary writers. Many critics have said that poetry and drama are two separate modes of literary expression whereas Eliot seems to believe that poetry and drama are unified and they bear closely upon one another. In his opinion, poetry and drama constitute parts of a unity and they are essentially unified modes of literary expression.

Murder in the Cathedral is the first complete play written by T. S. Eliot which deals with an ancient and medieval theme and a plot of the twelfth century. The story was written by poet-dramatists as Tennyson with his play named Becket and Christopher Fry who wrote Curtmantle, both wrote the story of Thomas Becket but such plays were not successful in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries because the authors used a language too far remote from their own time.
This study attempts to show the challenges faced T. S. Eliot in writing an ancient anecdote with a modern and contemporary language for contemporary people. The research is an analytical and critical attempt that tries to display, to what extent, Eliot thrived in writing the play in a language close to the language of his own people. It comprises an introduction shedding light on the historical background then is
followed by critical and analytical views on the events of the play presenting first the events before the action. The process shifts to the next part illustrating the action, focusing on the use of language of the play, with special focus on the structure and style.

They, after that, are encouraged to go through listening to where the stresses and strong syllables fall. In case they have any uncertainty about how the lines should be noticed, they can skip them temporarily and go on to other lines in which they feel greater assurance that is, to the lines that seem most consistent, with accents which fall obviously at regular pauses.

تسعى هذه الدراسة لعرض التحدي الذي واجه ’ت. س. إليوت‘ في تأليف قصة قديمة في شكل مسرحي ولكن باستخدام قالب أو ثوب لغوي حديث ومعاصر لتعرض على مشاهدين في نفس عصر المؤلف. هذا البحث يستخدم المنهج التحليلي والنقدي الذي يحاول عرض، إلى أي مدى، ن جح ’إليوت‘ في كتابة المسرحية بلغة قريبة من لغة عصره. الدراسة تشتمل على مقدمة تلقي الضوء على الخلفية التاريخية، ثم تتبع بدراسة وجه نظر نقدية وتحليلية عن أحداث المسرحية مستعرضاً الاحداث قبل تنفيذ الجريمة ثم الانتقال إلى الجزء التالي موضحاً طريقة تنفيذ الجريمة مركزاً على الاستخدام اللغوي في المسرحية وبشكل خاص التركيز على البناء والأسلوب اللغوي.
