The artistic function of space in Hussein Javid’s dramaturgy

Abstract

The description of geographical places is of special importance in Hussein Javid’s works. The names of geographical places mentioned in the works of the playwright are: Azerbaijan, Baku, Karabakh, Mecca, Medina, Baghdad, Dagestan, Barjom, Tbilisi, Istanbul, Bursa, Nishapur, Samarkand, Berlin, Switzerland. These geographical names are not chosen by chance, so, they have a special role in revealing a certain artistic meaning. Geographical space plays an important role in finding the position and ideology of the playwright, as well as the content that is not described in words in the work. Open and closed spaces are also provided in accordance with the specified geographical locations. The multiplicity of geographical spaces expands and globalizes the problem raised by the romanticists. We find the richest geographical places in the works of Hussein Javid.
