Abstract

Haifa Bitar is one of the authors named Souri, whose main works are short stories with feminist color and the theme of social suffering. The collection of stories "Zajij Al-Jasd" is one of his works in which he deals with social issues, especially issues related to women, with a microscopic and critical look. The element of "conflict" is one of the basic foundations in the design of this collection, which has given a special charm to its stories. In this research, in a descriptive-analytical manner, the conflicts of the three stories "Zijij Al-Jasd", "Damoo Al-Shaitan" and "ghalbon faregh" have been examined, each of which has played a special role in advancing the story.. Studies show that in these stories, all kinds of internal, social, mental, verbal and physical conflicts are evident, and among these, mental conflicts have a larger volume. In general, the main role of conflicts in these stories is to link its components and maintain the logical course of the events of the story in terms of causality.
