Semantics of Neo-Mythologisms in Stories
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The semantics of neo-mythologisms in modern literature are examined, with an emphasis on how they affect creative expression. The incorporation of mythology into story forms has become a defining characteristic, expressing the complexity of society and illustrating character feelings. This study finds a lack in knowledge regarding the adaptation of neo-mythological symbols in Uzbek and international writing, although previous research emphasizes myth as a story device. Using a comparative approach, it examines the stylistic neo-mythological adaptations of works by authors such as Sultan and Kafka. The results indicate that neo-mythological frameworks improve the resonance of the story by illuminating human links to nature and adding depth to the characters. These revelations highlight the myth's changing significance in contemporary literature and provide fresh avenues for interpretation.
