Abstract
This article offers an in-depth analysis of the category of “desire” in English and Uzbek fairy tales, focusing on how this pivotal concept is portrayed and understood across these two distinct cultural traditions. Desire, as a driving force in narrative fiction, influences character motivations, plot developments, and thematic elements. By comparing fairy tales from both traditions, this study elucidates the ways in which desire is not only a personal aspiration but also a reflection of broader cultural values and societal norms. Through a detailed examination of linguistic patterns, narrative structures, and thematic elements, this article reveals the universal and culturally specific dimensions of desire in fairy tales. The comparative analysis not only enhances our understanding of how different cultures interpret the role of desire but also sheds light on how these interpretations reflect broader cultural ideologies and societal expectations. By highlighting both the commonalities and differences in the portrayal of desire, this study contributes to a richer understanding of the role of fairy tales in expressing and shaping cultural values.
