Abstract

Abstract

          The study comprised four chapters. The first chapter defined the research problem, which was represented with the following question: "What is introspection in the characters of Iraqi theatrical texts?" It also outlined the importance of the research and its spatial, temporal, and thematic boundaries. The researcher defined the two terms "introspection" and "character" then provided an operational definition of introspection. The second chapter presented the theoretical framework of the study, consisting of two sections: the first section (the conceptual framework of introspection) and the second section (introspection in the characters of theatrical texts). The chapter concluded with the most prominent indicators resulting from the theoretical framework. The third chapter was dedicated to the research procedures, employing a descriptive approach in analyzing the sample. The researcher arrived at the most significant findings through sample analysis and conclusions, which demonstrated the presence of introspection in the characters of theatrical texts. Finally, the researcher presented recommendations and suggestions and established a list of sources.
