Home is a very important topic for Saudi poets, Arab poets, and, I would venture to say, for every intellectual person. The same topic was directed by a number of Saudi poets, who provided us with beautiful lyrical poetry works honoring the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, their country of origin. The study uses Taher Zamakhshari's poem "My Homeland" to highlight the poet's talent, awareness, and competency while also demonstrating his passion and allegiance toward the great nation. By referencing literary metaphors, images, and symbols in his poetry understudy, it makes a real effort to value, evaluate, and appraise the poet's skill and ability. Beginning with a brief discussion of poetry and its importance, the study then takes a look at Saudi poetry before returning to the career of the Saudi poet, Taher Zamakhshari. The criticalanalytical-descriptive approach to the poem "My Homeland" is the main question and probe of the study. This approach is used in the paper, which pays close attention to the idea of the homeland because it is the main subject. After that, the article concludes with a conclusion.

He has greatly influenced the English literature in the first half of the twentieth century. Eliot’s works are marked for their innovative quality and rich ambiguity. As such, they lead to a variety of interpretations. Eliot emerged as a major proponent of poetic plays for which he also made adequate ground in his criticism. With the publication of the first two plays – Murder in the Cathedral and The Family Reunion – the case for poetic drama was furthered and strengthened, and it caught the imagination of other contemporary writers. Many critics have said that poetry and drama are two separate modes of literary expression whereas Eliot seems to believe that poetry and drama are unified and they bear closely upon one another. In his opinion, poetry and drama constitute parts of a unity and they are essentially unified modes of literary expression.

To many critics, Sweeney Agonistes is perplexing poetic piece of literature to the degree that several critics do not call it a play but a fragment as Eliot himself named it. The first intriguing point which needs to be clarified in connection with Sweeney Agonistes is to prove that this short fragmentary piece is a play. The researcher tries to illustrate to what extent Eliot had the ability to make Sweeney Agonistes a play. The study follows the analytical approach to achieve the goal for drawing inferences. It includes a brief introduction about Eliot’s theories on drama and poetry, to be followed by critical-analytical observations on the use of dialogue and characters with special focus on the utility of modern dialogue to back up the argument of the researcher to call it a play.
Murder in the Cathedral is the first complete play written by T. S. Eliot which deals with an ancient and medieval theme and a plot of the twelfth century. The story was written by poet-dramatists as Tennyson with his play named Becket and Christopher Fry who wrote Curtmantle, both wrote the story of Thomas Becket but such plays were not successful in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries because the authors used a language too far remote from their own time.
This study attempts to show the challenges faced T. S. Eliot in writing an ancient anecdote with a modern and contemporary language for contemporary people. The research is an analytical and critical attempt that tries to display, to what extent, Eliot thrived in writing the play in a language close to the language of his own people. It comprises an introduction shedding light on the historical background then is
followed by critical and analytical views on the events of the play presenting first the events before the action. The process shifts to the next part illustrating the action, focusing on the use of language of the play, with special focus on the structure and style.
