| contents | <p class="MsoNormal">This article examines the archetype of the “madman/fool” (yurodivy/holy fool) as a lens for critiquing social reality in the works of Uzbek writer Khurshid Dustmuhammad and Russian author Evgeny Vodolazkin. Through a comparative analysis of Dustmuhammad’s novel <em>Bozor</em> (“The Bazaar”) and Vodolazkin’s <em>Laurus</em> (2012), the study reveals how the fool figure functions as a truth-teller who exposes the absurdity of societal norms, materialism, and historical determinism. Drawing on archetypal criticism, cultural anthropology, and literary comparativistics, the research demonstrates both universal and culture-specific manifestations of this archetype. The findings highlight its enduring relevance in contemporary literature as a tool for spiritual and social resistance.</p> |
