Abstract: Arabic poets use this metaphor that I called “the metaphor of redemption” asan astuteand prudent opening to talk about taboo subjects. The Metaphor of redemptionis used to say things in a more delicate and refined way, particularly for authors who live in societies where religion fathoms the spirits, in other words, countries where religious prejudice opens more room to intolerance and fanaticism. The word “redemption” is a Christian word that I borrowed to express the idea of salvation.In the world where eyes say more than words, metaphor becomes then a sort of remedy, I would say even an indispensable prescription, the only open door to say things when we come close to taboos, to the point that the aesthetic purpose which is the primary function of any metaphor becomes only accidental or maybe a luxury in this case.
