THE POETICS OF CHARACTERIZATION IN THE NOVEL

Abstract

The article focuses on the manner in which the author’s viewpoint is expressed through the characters of Abdullah Qodiriy’s novel “O‘tkan kunlar” (Bygone Days), regarded as the first example of Uzbek novel-writing. The structure of the work, particularly its opening part, is subjected to a separate analysis, and the scope of the initial sentence within the scale of the novel genre is examined. By analyzing the actions of the main characters in the novel, the extent to which the author’s purpose is clearly reflected in the work is observed.
