Abstract
Arabist scholars have started quite recently to pay attention towards the fascinating Gulf literary production. However, Qatari literature remains one of the most under investigated subjects, especially in Europe, despite its interesting aspects and remarkable development. Through the literary comparison of three short stories, namely al-Ḫuṭwa al-aḫīra (The Last Step) by Umm Akṯam, Ṣafā’ ar-rūḥ (The Purity of Soul) by Nāṣir Ṣāliḥ al-Faḍāla, and Ḥarām ʻalayk (Shame on You) by Muḥsin Fahd al-Hāǧirī, this article aims to provide a thematic analysis of some insights of the marriage in Qatar. Through the short stories we will be able to explore the relationship between men and women related to the social local issues affecting the community at the time of writing.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
