THE ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION OF HUMAN TRAGEDY IN THE NOVELLA

Abstract

This article explores Bayram Ali’s novella Bosiriq, which illustrates the psychological and existential struggles of a nameless protagonist through the technique of artistic psychologism. The fragmented narrative structure and the absence of linear chronology mirror the protagonist’s inner chaos and emotional detachment. Rather than recounting external events, the author delves into the character’s internal world—his desire to escape a spiritually corrupted society and return to natural, untouched simplicity. The work symbolically reflects on broader social issues, using minor characters with metaphorical names to expose
hypocrisy, superficiality, and collective spiritual decay. Drawing on poetic allusions and literary references, the novella aligns the protagonist’s isolation with universal human suffering. Through emotionally charged imagery and philosophical
undertones, Bosiriq challenges readers to reflect on the essence of humanity in a material-driven world. Ultimately, the novella serves as a powerful example of how contemporary Uzbek prose redefines literary form and explores the soul’s hidden
dialectics.
