SOCIAL OPPRESSION AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CONFLICT IN CHO‘LPON’S KECHA VA KUNDUZ: A LITERARY AND SOCIO-CULTURAL ANALYSIS
Keywords:
Cho‘lpon, Kecha va Kunduz, social oppression, psychological conflict, individual freedom, social realism, identity.Abstract
This article analyzes Kecha va Kunduz (Night and Day) by Cho‘lpon from the perspective of social oppression and psychological conflict. The study examines inequality, restrictions on individual freedom, and inner psychological struggles within early 20th-century society. The novel is interpreted through social-realistic and psychological approaches, highlighting the symbolic opposition of “night” and “day” as representations of oppression and liberation. The findings suggest that the work is not only a historical novel but also a profound socio-cultural and philosophical reflection on the relationship between the individual and society.
