Goha The Wise Fool

1. Goha The Wise Fool The donkey and I wise Fool kind malicious skimpy

2. Narrators and historians differ in the character of Goha. Some of them said that he is an image of some foolish or goofy person. And others said that he is a man in full consciousness and mind and he pretends to be an idiot to claim his views and make fun of the rulers freely. But all of them agree on his character that he was a simple man has just only one friend and it is his donkey that he has shared his stories. Who is Goha?

3. When did the people start to know him ?No one knows exactly when this character came to be shown in the Arabic literature .it’s a well known character we canchange and literature changes but the character of Goha still there in every time and with people from different ages and education

4. What else about him ?He looks like the fool of Shakespeare that character which looks as an idiot, foolish and, silly but very wise, critic and courageous to say every thing people can’t. In the Arabic literature, there are too many stories whose hero is Goha and his donkey .every one in the Arabic nations knows Goha and all of us laugh at and with his stories which is for us an outlet to express the things we can ‘t say in direct way .and we regard it as if it was the tongue which speaks for us ,plus we always learn from it .

5. For Arab Nations ………Goha for us as Arab is our wise fool like that of Shakespeare
