Poetic Characteristics of the "mother" Concept in Modern English and Uzbek Poetry
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The concept of “mother” occupies a central place in the poetic traditions of many cultures. In both English and Uzbek literature, the maternal image symbolizes love, sacrifice, spirituality, and moral guidance. This article explores the poetic characteristics of the “mother” concept in modern English and Uzbek poetry through comparative literary analysis. The research examines the linguistic, emotional, and symbolic representation of motherhood in selected poetic texts. The study reveals that while English poetry often emphasizes psychological intimacy and individual emotional experience, Uzbek poetry tends to highlight sacredness, respect, and cultural values associated with motherhood. Despite these differences, both traditions portray the mother as a universal symbol of compassion, moral strength, and unconditional love.
