Comparative Analysis of Teenager Image in English and Uzbek Literature

Journal Title: Scientific Work - Year 2025, Vol 19, Issue 5

Abstract

This study examines the portrayal of teenager characters in English and Uzbek literature, analyzing both classical and contemporary works to identify sociocultural patterns in adolescent representation. Through a systematic content analysis of selected literary works, the research identifies significant differences in how teenagers are portrayed across these literary traditions, particularly regarding family relationships, social expectations, and identity formation. The findings reveal that English literature often emphasizes individualism and rebellion against societal norms, while Uzbek literature tends to highlight family connections, cultural heritage, and collective identity. These differences reflect broader cultural values and historical contexts that shape literary representations of adolescence. This comparative analysis contributes to cross-cultural literary studies and provides insight into how different societies conceptualize the transitional period of adolescence through their respective literary traditions.
