The image of the beloved occupies a central place in both Uzbek and English literary traditions, functioning not merely as a romantic figure but as a cultural construct shaped by historical, religious, aesthetic, and philosophical values. This article investigates the cultural codes embedded in the representation of the beloved in Uzbek and English literature through a comparative linguocultural approach.
