THE INTERPRETATION OF INNER SUFFERING AND SELF-SACRIFICE IN THE COMPARISON OF HAMLET AND FARHOD

Abstract

This study offers a comparative literary analysis of inner suffering and self-sacrifice as depicted in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Alisher Navoi’s Farhod va Shirin. Though these works stem from different civilizations—the European Renaissance and the Eastern Renaissance—they both embody universal reflections on human morality, consciousness, and the search for truth. Through comparative-typological and hermeneutic methods, the research explores the heroes’ spiritual trials and moral purification.
