A new perspective on the image of women in the creativity of Ashug Alesger

Abstract

The article examines the issue of accepting women as a value in the works of Ashug Alesger, a living figure of Azerbaijani literature. However, in creative examples, woman sometimes is presented as an unattainable lover, sometimes as a spiritual mother, and sometimes as the queen of hearts. Comparisons, metaphors and symbols that are an integral part of the poetic system of women's values are also taken into account here. In the works of Ashug Alesger, the image of a woman is presented not only as a creature with external beauty, but also as a bearer of spiritual value. If you pay attention, it becomes clear that Alesger considers women not only as beauties, but also as sources of spirituality, and this is one of the main reasons why his poetics have survived among the people to this day. In the most important sections of his work, Alesger not only extols women, but also expresses the socio-cultural thoughts of his time through poetry.
