The manifestations of religious intertextuality in the play "Youssef and Menoufis" by the Turkish writer Nazim Hikmet An analytical descriptive study

Abstract: It is self-evident that literary texts overlap and embrace each other, for every new literary text is not weaved in it from a vacuum, rather there must be a relationship between it and the absent text, even if it is represented by different ratios determined by the degrees of influence and interaction between them, which is what is based on the concept of intertextuality in its various forms and degrees. Based on this concept, this study is based on tracing the phenomenon of religious intertextuality of "Nazım Hikmet" through his play "Yusuf and Menofis". It is no secret to a literary researcher that Hikmet is one of the most prominent Turkish writers who were inspired by the human heritage in their literature, in an attempt to address his ideological based ideology. On social thought and the glorification of human affairs, which is the role primarily assigned to religious text The goal of the religious text is to uphold the word of truth, maximize the status of the human being, and spread the lofty values, so it was necessary for a religious to intertwine in his works, whether this intertwining is complete as it appears in the intertextual intertextuality, or as referring by its displacement of functions and preserving their connotations, or The most creative intertextuality is the suggestive or the one known as the suggestive, and this is because the religious text in its nature provides the creator with open connotations of his thought and wide possibilities for expression.
