THE FORMATION OF THE CONCEPTS OF "WAR" AND "PEACE" IN FICTION, MYTHOLOGICAL ARCHETYPES AND ARTISTIC MODELS

Abstract

This article analyzes the process of formation of the concepts of "war" and "peace" in fiction, their mythological archetypes and the evolution of artistic models in a comparative manner based on materials from Uzbek and English literature. The study reveals the semantic layers of the concepts of war and peace within the framework of concept theory, and highlights the manifestation of the "war-peace" opposition in fiction through structural contradictions such as life-death, order-chaos, creativity-destruction. It is based on the connection of the archetype of war in mythological thinking with the idea of cosmic struggle and restoration of order, and the archetype of peace with the symbols of the "golden age", stability and social balance. It also analyzes the comparative analysis of the fact that in English literature the theme of war is more often covered through individual tragedy and psychological analysis, and in Uzbek literature in the context of collective memory, national destiny and people's patience.
