DIALECTICAL FEATURES OF THE HUMAN-NATURE-SOCIETY TRIAD IN THE WORKS OF THOMAS HARDY AND KHURSHID DO‘STMUHAMMAD

Abstrak

This article comparatively examines the dialectical features of the human–nature–society triad in the prose of Thomas Hardy and Khurshid Do‘stmuhammad. The triad is treated not as a mechanical combination of three separate themes, but as a dynamic system in which individual choice, the natural environment, and social institutions continuously reshape one another. The analysis focuses on Hardy’s The Mayor of Casterbridge and Jude the Obscure, and Do‘stmuhammad’s Kuza... and Sohildagi nash’u namo. The findings show that Hardy frequently presents nature as an objective force that tests economic and social decisions, whereas Do‘stmuhammad turns natural space into a symbolic medium revealing surveillance, freedom, alienation, and moral self-awareness. In both writers, the individual can be understood only within a conflictual and interdependent relationship with nature and society
