OYBEKNING “QUTLUG‘ QON” VA STEINBEKNING “G‘AZAB UZUMLARI” ASARLARIDA IJTIMOIY IQTISODIY MUAMMOLAR: QIYOSIY TAHLIL

Аннотация

This article offers a comparative literary analysis of Oybek’s “Qutlug‘ qon” and John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath”, focusing on socioeconomic hardship and the lived social experiences of the working class. Although created in different cultural and historical contexts, both novels portray the suffering of marginalized communities under oppressive economic systems. Through a sociological and realist literary approach, the study demonstrates that poverty, exploitation, and social injustice function not merely as background conditions but as determining forces shaping human consciousness, moral values, and collective resistance. The research highlights similarities and differences in how Eastern and Western literary traditions represent class struggle, social trauma, and hope for justice.
