Abstract

This article examines the image of mother as a universal and multifaceted symbol in the literature of different eras and cultures. Particular attention is paid to how the image of mother is formed in literary texts - from archaic archetypes to individual authorial interpretations. The key features, functions and transformations of this image in Russian, Uzbek and world literary traditions are analyzed. The emotional and value content of the image of mother, its symbolic and ethical load, reflecting not only family, but also cultural, national and philosophical aspects, are emphasized. The work demonstrates how the image of mother reveals ideas about good, self-sacrifice, ancestral memory, and how it is used to express the author's position and worldview.
