Emract the: Motanabby's position in euology is like a philosopher whose intellect prevails over his feeling, his mental attitude on death is like the view of an afflicted and reflective person; being afflicted he does not blame death, but blames days that ravish the broad minded, feels annoyed with the bolds who dim the clear atmosphere of life.
Motanabby‘s elegies are different in content, the poet, sometimes, is forced to euologize a person no disaster has made him sad, so his poem lacks emotion and kind feeling, but sometimes he experiences great suffering cause him, even for a short time, submit emotion.
Motanabby not only has a strong morale, but also has encountered a great number of misfortunes in his life; he has forgotten the style of writing threnody, hence he tries to hide his weakness empressing long wise saying, describing patience, praising the late and his family. Sometimes, in his poem, he prides himself but blames his enemies. The age when Motanabby lives, is an age of despising women, but since he does not like euologizing the weak in euologizing women, he deals with them as if they are men and many times he prefers women to men.
