This study compares military characters in Uzbek and English war literature, focusing on thematic and linguistic differences in war narratives. Through an analysis of “Cry Behind the River” (Q. Norqobil), “From Here to Eternity” (J. Jones), “The Thin Red Line” (J. Jones), and “Uzbechka” (B. Abdug‘afur), the study examines how cultural and historical contexts shape representations of soldiers, civilians, women, and children. Findings suggest that distinct linguistic and discursive structures in each tradition reflect broader cultural perspectives on war and its aftermath.
