| Abstract | ||
| Lexically, rejection means to leave something. You say: "he rejected me, so I rejected him". It has been stated in Allisan: "to reject something is to refuse, and to disapprove it", i.e. to leave and quit it. Mutiny, on the other hand, means to exceed the limits. You say: "the man rebels"; which means that "he disobeys and exceeds the limits", and "the boy has rebelled against his people" which means he disobeys and becomes obstinate and insistent. In terminology, rejection and mutiny have the same lexical implication for according to the poet, rejection means disapproving and leaving the repulsive reality and criticizing it ironically, whereas mutiny, parallel to its lexical implication, refers to refusing, disapproving and disobeying the others' point of view, and announcing rebellion against the contaminated and inferior reality. Strikingly, it meets rejection in this respect though mutiny is much stronger than rejection. Yet, both agree in referring to disapproving, denying, and ridiculing reality. | ||
