THE REFLECTION OF LEYLI IMAGES IN LEYLA IMAGE

Abstract

Samad Vurgun, one of the leading poets of Azerbaijani literature, is one of the poets who benefited from classical traditions in the 20th century and kept these traditions alive in his works. Thus, the poet created a new love story based on the love of Leyli and Majnun, the most famous love story of the East. The article describes the transformation of Leyli, the most famous beloved character of Nizami and Fuzuli's works, into a free, independent lady in the 20th century. If we take into account the difference in life between the 12th, 16th and 20th centuries, the differences between the images of Leyla are clearly visible. Thus, the fact that Leyla, a free woman and a beloved woman who is the pride of her people, can now fly above the clouds is a symbol of her strength. In the research, it was pointed out that the literary structure of istifham is used in Samad Vurgun's poetry. The poem “Leyla” is a clear example of classical traditions living in a new format in Samad Vurgun's work.
