of the images. He deeply analyzes the spiritual world of the characters in harmony with the
environment and the era based on a great philosophical observation, directs the spirit of the image
to the independence of expression. Since these characteristics are reflected not only in the great epic
genres of the writer, but also in the stories that serve as “leavening” (xamirtirush) for them, the
reader reads the stories of Luqmon Borikhon passionately and feels that he has received a huge
spiritual reserve for himself. Since the characters depicted in the story are vividly depicted, he
shares their fate, feels that he has experienced every emotional process in the characters. In
addition, Luqmon Borikhon does not build an ideal hero in the image creation system, and does not
put him in the central point, a legendary person who is free of all flaws, graceful, and passes
through a thousand and one steps does not aim to describe. On the contrary, he brings to his stories
a simple character that is not free from mistakes, as the hero of the work. Therefore, the activity,
personality, inner and outer appearance of each character in Luqmon Borikhon’s stories is fully
consistent with the principles of social and psychological determinism.
In a number of stories of the writer, the image of the architects of the nation's spirituality is
created - teachers and mentors. For example, in a number of stories such as “Begimqul katta”,
“Dard”, “Anxiety from the desert”, “Shaharlik o‘qituvchi” (“Teacher from city”) he creates the
image of teachers with different characters. It is no exaggeration to say that the story “Begimqul
Katta” is a great work in a small genre that introduced Luqmon Borikhon to the literary public. In
this story, the author creates a dynamic image of Begimqul, an ordinary teacher who plays ball on
the school playground with his students in the open air, and “plays chess” on rainy days. He walks
around the chairman and learns “bigness”. Everyone calls him “Begimqul katta” out of curiosity. In
the story, writer skilfully compares the changes in Begimqul’s external and internal world during
his time as a teacher and when he was an office worker, and through this, he shows that the status of
a teacher and mentor is superior to any action. This is clearly manifested in the character’s speech
and thoughts, mentality, behavior, and attitude towards people.
To sum up, another skill of the author in creating an image is shown in the fact that Luqmon
Borikhon can bring his images to the level of character even in the so-called small genre stories.
Although the specific features of the character raised to the level of character are not described in
the story, they serve to express the author's spiritual and aesthetic concept, promote a great idea, and
are aimed at embodying a historically specific type of society. Above, we can observe that these
features appeared during the analysis of some of the writer's stories.
