These prologues which open the odes, introduce concepts such as homeland, loss of beloved, standing over the ruins and lamentation over the losses and wreckages. The old schools critics in their analysis paid much attention to the formal aspects of these verses and found them imitative however, the contemporary critics evaluated divergent facets of them and had different interpretations which rarely been noticed. Hence, based on the new exegeses which are different from what old schools of criticism, this paper tries to explore and deal with concepts such as sociology, psychology and existentialism in the prologues of Jahiliyyah poetry.
