FOLKLORE MOTIVES IN THE POETRY OF MUSA YAGUB

Abstract

The artistic and aesthetic value, the depth of meaning and content of modern works can be comprehensively assessed only if the spirit of folklore, the folk way of thinking, imbued in its content, is identified and generalized.
The main purpose of this investigation is to study the attachment to folklore in the poetry of Musa Yagub, a representative of modern Azerbaijani literature, distinguished by its own creative, original style, new, different approach to traditional themes and the influence of oral folk literature on the poet's work. M.Yagub always used the oral verbal art of the people, their mythological sources of thinking. The originality of the appeal to folklore images and motives contained in the poet's work is very interesting. Folklore samples of the language of his poems such as “Tarazi” (“Scales”), “Bu geder yol” (“So many ways ...”), “Bir gunah senindir, bir gunah menim” (“One sin is yours, one sin is mine”), “Sebir kasasi” (“Bowl of patience”), etc. enrich this poetry in terms of expressiveness, and also give it emotionality.
