This research article focuses on the theme of violence and its representation by the characters of the novel “This Savage Song” by Victoria Schwab. How violence is transmitted through genes to next generations and to what extent socio- psycho factors are involved in it, has also been discussed. Similarly, in what manner violent events and deeds by the parents affect the psychology of children and how it inculcates aggressive behaviour in their minds has been studied. What role is played by the parents in grooming the personality of children and ultimately their decisions to choose the right or wrong way has been argued. In the light of the theory of Judith Harris, this research paper highlights all the phenomena involved: How the social hierarchy controls the behaviour. In addition, the aggressive approach of the people in their lives has been analyzed in the light of the study of second theorist Thomas W Blume. As the novel is a unique representation of supernatural characters, the monsters, which are the products of some cruel deeds, this research paper brings out different dimensions of human sufferings with respect to these supernatural beings. Moreover, the researcher also discusses that, in what manner the curse of violence creates an inevitable vicious cycle of cruel monsters that makes the life of the characters turbulent and miserable.

ملخص البحث: هذه المقالة تُعْنى بدراسة صورة البطولة في قصة "أحراج يعبد" بقلم روضة الهدهد، فمشاهدُ القصة مستوحاة من الواقع وبطلُها عزّ الدين القسَّام الذي قام بأدوار بطولية متعدّدة؛ أمّا مكانُ الحَبْكة ففلسطين وزمانُها بين عام 1920-1935م، والحَبْكةُ نفسها تتمثل في سلسلة من دراما المقاومة والتضحية وبذل الغالي والنفيس في سبيل تحرير الأرض والوطن والشعب من اليهود والصهاينة المغتصبين. وترمي هذه المقالة إلى وضْعِ عرضٍ تحليلي لقصة بطولية معاصرة واقعية بين أيدي القراء وخاصةً الأطفال منهم، والغرض من ذلك ربطُ القراءِ بواقعهم الذي يُعاينونه؛ وتربيةُ وغرسُ عنصر التضحية في نفوس أطفالنا منذ نعومة أظفارهم من جهةٍ، وتوعيةُ شبابنا في بذل المُهج والأموال في سبيل الحفاظ على الكرامة واسترداد الحقوق وخاصة ً الأراضي المحتلة في فلسطين من جهة أخرى. تُعنى المقالةُ أيضاً بالإطار النظري للقصة. توصلت الدراسة إلى أن هناك نقصاً في نماذج الأبطال الذين نتمثل بهم في مؤلفاتنا، وأن الشهيد عزّ الدين القسَّام قد نال شهادته، وأظهر بطولته في القتال ضدّ اليهود وإخوانه الذين كانوا أمثلة حيّة يحتذى بهم، كل الأبطال في هذه القصص العشرة يتصفون بالبطولة الجهادية، وهم الأبطال المجاهدون. الكلمات المفتاحية: البطولة- الشهيد – المجاهد – المثقّف -  القروية.   Abstract: This article investigates the images of heroic figures in Rawdah al-Hudhud’s short story, entitled The Forest of Yaʿbud. Izzedine al-Qassam, the protagonist in the story performs the heroic roles of a martyr, combatant, intellectual, countryman, nationalist and educator who feed the minds of his disciples and followers with knowledge and their souls with love of sacrifice. The plot of the story whose setting is Palestine and which occurred between 1920 -1935 consists of a series of drama replete with resistance, sacrifice, and dedication of the most precious thing for the sake of liberating one’s homeland and people from the Jews and Zionist occupation. Thus, the article presents the readers with an analytical presentation of a heroic-driven story taken from facts of our contemporary life insofar as to bring the readers closer to the reality they live. This article is also concerned with the theoretical framework of the story whereby the researcher sets to define some concepts contained in it. To fulfill this, the researchers apply the analytical approach whereby all heroic scenes in the story are analyzed. The study found that there is a shortage in the Champions models who represents them in books, and the Martyr Izzedine al-Qassam had obtained his testimony, showed heroism in the fight against the Jews with his brothers, whom were living examples to follow them, all the heroes in these ten stories are characterized tournament jihadist, they are heroes Mujahideen.   Key words: Heroic - Martyr - Mujahid - Dducator - Rural.   Abstrak: Makalah ini merupakan kupasan terhadap gambaran watak-watak keperwiraan di dalam cerpen nukilan Rawdah al-Hudhud berjudul ‘Aḥrāj Ya‘bud (Hutan ya‘ud). ‘Izuddīn al-Qassām protagonis cerita menonjolkan kepelbagaian watak yang meliputi seorang shahid, pejuang, cendiakiawan, negarawan, pejuang nasionalis dan juga seorang pendidik menyemaikan jiwa-jiwa murid dan pengikutnya dengan pengetahuan serta kecintaan terhadap pengorbanan. Plot penceritaan berlatarkan Palestin sekitar tahun-tahun 1920 sehingga 1935 yang mengandungi beberapa drama yang penuh dengan penentangan, pengorbanan dan dedikasi kepada tanahair tercinta untuk memerdekakan penduduknya daripada pendudukan Yahudi dan regim Zionis.
