Familiar and hostile places in Azhar Jirjis's stories

Abstract

Places are divided in terms of familiarity and hostility into two sections, which are the main types of places, namely: the familiar, which is the place whose presence is established in you, and it is the place where the person feels familiar, and these are the places that are desirable and have positive energy, are quiet and aside, and it is also the space in which the person lives in a localized manner, so it is suitable for the personality. The home is one of the most familiar places par excellence because it is the shelter of the person in which he keeps his memories and includes the most private details of his life. As for the hostile, it is the place that is not suitable for the personality and its atmosphere is uncomfortable, unlike the familiar place. The hostile place is the place of hatred and conflict, so the place has negative energy that repels the personality from it, and its polarities are also negative.
