Abstrak

The present article investigates the artistic and psychological interpretation of loneliness in English and Uzbek short stories of the twentieth century through comparative literary analysis. The research focuses on Katherine Mansfield’s “Miss Brill” and “The Daughters of the Late Colonel” together with Zulfiya Qurolboy qizi’s “Yozsiz yil” (“Without Summer”) and “Qadimiy qo‘shiq” (“The Ancient Song”). The article analyzes loneliness not only as physical isolation but also as emotional, spiritual, and psychological alienation reflected in literary texts. The study explores the artistic devices used to portray loneliness, including symbolism, silence, psychological realism, introspection, emotional atmosphere, and fragmented communication. The findings demonstrate that English modernist prose mainly interprets loneliness through existential alienation, emotional invisibility, and fragmented individuality, while Uzbek prose focuses more strongly on spiritual dissatisfaction, weakening emotional warmth, family relationships, and moral alienation. The comparative analysis also reveals that despite cultural differences, loneliness remains a universal human experience represented through similar psychological and artistic methods in both literary traditions.
