COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE CONCEPT OF TOLERANCE IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK CLASSICAL LITERARY TEXTS

Abstract

This paper conducts a comparative analysis of the concept of tolerance in English and Uzbek classical literary texts. It examines how tolerance, as a universal human value, is linguistically and culturally expressed in both traditions. The findings reveal that while both literatures promote tolerance, their interpretations differ—English literature often associates it with individual morality and social justice, while Uzbek literature emphasizes communal harmony and ethical spirituality. These insights contribute to intercultural understanding and comparative literary studies.
