Compositional Structure of Navai and Fuzuli's Epic Poems

Abstract

The article discusses the emergence of the legend of Layli and Majnun in the form of epics in Turkish and Persian literature, which was passed from language to language among the Arab peoples. The idea that the Majnun is a historical figure or a fabricated character is supported by the views of scholars. The two great epics in Turkish literature, Alisher Navoi and Muhammad Fuzuli's "Layli and Majnun" are compared. As a result, of our comparisons, opinions and conclusions about the weight, genre, composition, individuality of the protagonist and events of both epics are expressed. The similarities and differences between the two artists' approaches to the topic will be analyzed.
