| Abstract | ||
| This paper investigates the effect of the emotion of suspicion and jealousy causes man's fall when a mean person dupes into thinking that someone the man believes is his has been unfaithful to him. In Jalal 's novel, Trial At Midnight, Wafiq, the central character, comes out of prison to find his wife has given birth to a son palpable aversion to him, and by the recurring memory of the insidious insinuations his mother had made when she visited him in prison, and which had sown the first seeds of doubt in his mind. Thus, love is ironically inverted into lethal trap that breeds an oppressive sense of betrayal, and the hero exchanges one kind of prison, the real, for another, the mental. His doubts, fears, and memories crowd in upon him like relentless walls fast closing in, until they drive him into a mad frenzy. His mind snaps and kills his wife as Shakespeare' Othello and the famous Arab poet, Deek al-Jin did with their wives. At the end, Wafiq screams his impotent agony at the man who causes his arrest, and commits suicide by shooting himself. | ||
