Question

Is the title the song of death suitable? Justify

Answer 1

We need to justify that the title of the song of death is suitable.

• 'Song of Death' is a one-act play and it is written by Tawfiq Al-Hakim an Egyptian writer.
• I feel that the title of death is suitable.
• Sumeida is asked to kill Alwan at the request of Asakir and after killing him he sings this song.
• Alwan was Asakir's son who was sent away when he was two years old so that no harm comes to him.
• Asakir's life and Alwan's life were in danger so Asakir takes this step.
• When Alwan comes back after seventeen years Asakir asks him to take revenge against Suweilam Tawahi, his father's murderer.
• Alwan refuses to do this and goes away.
• Asakir is very frustrated and angry and so she asks Sumeida to kill her son.
• So after Sumeida kills her one and only son he sings the song ' The song of Death'. as he also knows that after doing this Asakir will repent it till the last.
