THE ARTICLE ANALYZES FEMALE IMAGES, AUXILIARY IMAGES AND THE ANTI-HEROIC POLE: THE MAIN AND AUXILIARY IMAGES IN THE KOROGLU EPIC.

Abstract

It is noted that female images have a special semantics in the Koroglu epic. This is primarily due to the position of female characters in the epic structure of the saga. As you know, female characters occupy a special place in archaic sagas. There is a motif called "The hero follows his beloved" and this motif is based on a group of old Turkish epics. The plot of these plots is the pursuit of the protagonist for his beloved, his travels to distant countries and his return to his homeland with his beloved after many heroic deeds. However, this theme underlies not only archaic epics, but also medieval Azerbaijani epic texts. In the study, the antihero pole is also represented by a fairly large gallery of images. This breadth is reflected both in the color of the images and in the detail of the images associated with them. Thus, the saga often describes in detail the plot against Shanlibel in the palaces of enemy pashas and khans. Despite the fact that "Koroglu" is a great epic, none of these images overshadows the others. With Koroglu as the main target, the plot shows the perfect outline of the poetics of the saga.
