Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract:
Abdulhamid Sulaymon o‘g‘li Cholpon (1897–1938), a prominent figure in Uzbek literature, is widely regarded as a master of lyrical and dramatic expression. His works resonate with themes of national identity, individual struggle, and existential despair. The early 20th century, marked by political upheaval and cultural transformation in Central Asia, profoundly shaped Cholpon’s literary voice. This thesis explores the psychological fracture embedded in his works and examines how despair functions as a central poetic and emotional device. Through a close reading of selected poems and prose, we analyze how despair becomes both a response to socio-political trauma and a tool for inner exploration.
