This article presents an in-depth comparative analysis of the aesthetic and social function of satire in both Uzbek and English literature. Despite the universal role of satire as a tool for critique and reform, the historical, cultural, and linguistic contexts of each tradition have shaped distinct stylistic and philosophical approaches to the genre. The study investigates how satire operates in different political and cultural frameworks, how it reflects ethical concerns, and how its artistic expressions evolve across time and media. Through the analysis of prominent figures like Alisher Navoi and Abdulla Qahhor in the Uzbek literary tradition, and Jonathan Swift, George Orwell, and Salman Rushdie in English literature, this article explores satire’s role as a dynamic medium of socio-political reflection and literary innovation.
