Abstract

Every people has their own point of view about beauty, namely the beauty of the rose, nature, life, man and, of course, woman. Literature, known as the science of man, is first and foremost a science of women, that is, a science that explores and discovers women. If attention is paid, it is understood that the oldest works are also attributed to women. At the center of the conflict of the works in question are women and her elements. In fact, the development of literature is closely related to the literary study of the woman theme and its increasing depth. As a matter of fact, researching the general and special qualities of the female character in world literature helps to research the general rules of the literary process, especially national literatures from a comparative-typological aspect.

When we look at world literature, we witness that the character of WOMAN has risen to cult level since ancient times. The handling of the female character in world literature and its place in society is directly related to the historical period in which she lived. When we look at world literature, we come across characters like Elizabeth in English literature, Queen Otikuba in Japanese literature, Tatyana Larina and Natasha Rostova in Russian literature, Scarlett O'hara in American literature, Madame Bavary in French literature, who have become the symbols of the women of that people. From tales of one thousand and one nights to modern works dealing with characters such as Gümüş Bibi, Zeynep, Zebi and Zeberced, there are female characters who carry our national identity at their core.

The experience of dealing with female characters and portraying their different types continues in Uzbek literature. In this article, the issue of female character and literary interpretation of women in today's Uzbek storytelling is examined.
