THE USE OF LITERARY DEVICES IN THE WORKS OF MARK TWAIN AND XUDOYBERDI TO‘XTABOYEV

Abstract

This article examines the use of literary devices and artistic-aesthetic thought in the works of Mark Twain and Xudoyberdi To‘xtaboyev. It explores how both authors depict childhood, human nature, and social life through humor, irony, dialogue, symbolism, and vivid imagery. The article highlights Twain’s portrayal of American society and the quest for freedom and self-identity, as well as To‘xtaboyev’s reflection of Uzbek traditions, moral values, and psychological depth. By comparing these two writers, the study shows how literary devices enhance storytelling, create meaningful experiences for readers, and convey moral and cultural lessons. The article demonstrates that despite cultural differences, the artistic approaches of both authors reveal universal truths about life and human behavior
