This thesis investigates the analytical approach to the character of the hero and their formation within the context of Uzbek literature. By exploring classic and contemporary works, such as those by Abdulla Qodiriy, Abdulla Qahhor, and Hamid Ismailov, the study highlights how Uzbek heroes reflect evolving historical, cultural, and ideological paradigms. From idealistic reformers to introspective anti-heroes, the development of these characters mirrors Uzbekistan's social and political transformations. The paper also examines gendered representations of heroism and the shift from collective identity to personal moral struggle, offering a comprehensive lens on the literary portrayal of Uzbek heroes.
