Abstract:
Stylistics is the study of the distinctive styles found in particular literary genres and in the works of individual writers. Stylistic analysis is the analysis of various language styles to extract the meaning or message contained in the text. This study focuses on the stylistic analysis of the description of Diraar to Imam Ali (AS). The aim is to examine the linguistic features and techniques employed in the description, shedding light on the stylistic choices made by the author. By analyzing the syntactic structures, lexical choices, and rhetorical devices used, this study aims to uncover the stylistic elements that contribute to the overall effect and impact of the description. The findings of this study show that Diraar’s descriptions of Imam Ali (AS) transcend a mere portrayal; it is a masterful composition that weaves together language, imagery, tone, and paradox to convey the Multifaced nature of this revered figure.
