Abstract

One of the most important and fundamental human instincts is the existential instinct that man develops according to this desire, and according to Freud, the instinct of death brings fear, self-harm and suicide to man. The issue of death is one of the most complex issues that has cast its shadow over man over the years and has placed him in the contradiction of the joy of life and the fear of doom; On this basis, scientists from various fields try to recognize that Freud was the leader of this thinking. Freud believes that there is no contradiction between the joy of life and the fear of death, and the two can be studied together under the titles of Eros and Thanatos. Sinan Anton is one of the Iraqi novelists who has given a high place to death in his novels, among which the novel "Only in the Pomegranate" is one of the most important novels that has dealt with the various issues of death. This research is written based on a descriptive-analytical method to divide death into three main axes: - Terror, liquidation, and kidnapping, then insanity with the axes of anxiety, fear, dreams and nightmares and addiction, and then imprisonment that escapes the most important tone. It is its axis. And as a result of this research, we learned that Sinan Anthony used all these meanings to describe death, and by washing each corpse, he expressed the way of death.
