MYTHOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION IN THE STORIES BY THE WRITER NAZAR ESHONKUL (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE STORIES “TOBUT” (COFFIN) AND “AJR” (REWARD))

Abstract

In this article, effective use of various types and forms of mythologism in Nazar Eshonkul’s works has been studied on the example of the story “Sibizgha Volasi”. Based on analyses it has been proven that the writer has created a new style in literature to expose the acts of despotic regime and its leaders by giving a modern spirit to legends that has never been found in the Uzbek storytelling, in general, in prose. The article demonstrates the writer’s skill in using colours, details, symbols and images to bring modernity by putting only his own text in the fairy tale without changing the plot.
