THE MOTIF OF GREED IN UZBEK LITERATURE

Abstract

Since the beginning of time, the world has been a place of constant dualities—good and evil, generosity and greed, bravery and cowardice. These opposing qualities are not only found in real life but are also vividly reflected in literature. In Uzbek literature, too, we encounter both positive and negative characters. In particular, greed is often the subject of serious critique in many literary works. This article explores the concept of the greed motif using examples from notable works of Uzbek literature.
