REFLECTIONS OF THE FEMALE IMAGE IN CHARLOTTE BRONTË’S JANE EYRE IN UZBEK LITERATURE: A THEORETICAL AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Keywords:
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre, women’s independence, feminist thoughtAbstract
This article analyzes the image of the main female protagonist in the famous novel Jane Eyre (1847) by the English writer Charlotte Brontë from a literary and philosophical perspective. The novel addresses issues such as a woman’s self-awareness as an individual, her aspiration for spiritual independence, and her defense of her values as an equal human being in the face of men and society. This image is compared with the formation of female identity in Uzbek literature and is analyzed comparatively alongside the female characters of Kumush in Abdulla Qodiriy’s novel O‘tkan kunlar (Bygone Days) and Zuhra in Cho‘lpon’s Kecha va Kunduz (Night and Day). The article also provides an in-depth discussion of the evolution of the female image in national and world literary thought, focusing on women’s spiritual independence and social activity.
