Abstract

This study aims to gain an understanding of the meaning of the metaphors used by Mutanabbi in describing humanist values in his poetry. The metaphors inherent in Mutanabbi poetry are inseparable from his reflection on the surrounding natural phenomena. In other words, the understanding that will be found includes the description of the human ecosystem with nature. The importance of analyzing the meaning of this metaphor is motivated by the lack of students' ability to understand metaphors especially in Arabic poetry. This study is expected to be able to increase student’s sensitivity in harmonizing life. This study used a qualitative method of content analysis with a literary ecology approach and literary semiotics. Mutanabbi is the poet who is very inspired by natural phenomena; in other words, the beauty of poetry can be seen in terms of literary ecology. Thus, this research can provide and understanding of the way humans understand the meaning o life about something that has been made by God.
