Al-Zeer Salem, the hero, between biography and history

The controversy that took place on the pages of newspapers, magazines, and television seminars about the series Al-Zeer Salem moved this series from being an entertainment material that ends with (I like it or I do not like it), to being a cultural material whose discussion requires a cognitive reference. The ending to Al-Zeer Salem in the series was one of the most controversial topics. The popular story ends when Al-Zir wins and Al-Jarru manages to kill his uncle Jassas and humiliate Bani Bakr. But history does not stop at the popular mood with which biography interacts. People are defending the stereotype they have in their mind of the hero. Historical truth destroys and distorts this image. Therefore, it is easier for them to deny this fact than to accept it. Denial comes either by accusing us of forgery, distortion for the sake of omission, or ignorance of history or biography. Not to mention the accusation of being hostile to the nation and distorting the images of its heroes. All of this created an opportunity for us to have a serious discussion about drama and its relationship to history and popular biography, by responding to some proposals. Perhaps this discussion will bring some benefit to the reader, and shed light on some of the ambiguities that have occurred.
