Summary

Published in 1923, The Prophet is a mystical and intensely subjective work, presenting the human soul as essentially noble and good. Almustafa, the prophet, who is about to leave the city of Orphalese, is asked by the seeress Almitra to speak to the people about life. He begins with a discourse on love and then turns to everyday concerns and to such higher matters as good and evil, religion, and death. In The Forerunner, published in 1920, Gibran asserts that nobody is to be blamed for our <U+0091>being<U+0092> and <U+0091>having<U+0092> but ourselves. Finally, The Madman, published in 1918, asserts that we tend to be what society expects from us, although these expectations could be detrimental for the development of our self-identity
