Abstract

The article reveals how sacrifice, regarded as one of the forms of folk beliefs and rituals (ырым-жырым), is not merely a background element in the novel, but is skillfully depicted as the main driving force behind the characters’ psychology, consciousness, and behavior. The functions and artistic significance of these rituals are analyzed through specific examples from the work.
