PSYCHOLOGICAL HEROES CREATED BY TIME (A STUDY OF AZERBAIJANI PROSE IN 2000S)

This article discusses the psychology of prose in Azerbaijani literature in the 2000s. The impact of socio-political events in Azerbaijan on the emerging literary examples, new types of psychological heroes in prose are analyzed. The heroes that society has given to literature are so diverse and numerous that as if no author could save his/her hero from the grip of social problems and raise him/her to a level where he/she could live with the feelings of becoming a world hero. Either they could not free the protagonist from social problems and bring the world to the level of literary thinking, or they had difficulty in doing so. The socio-political, moral and spiritual environment in Azerbaijan in the 2000s did not pass unnoticed in our literature. In this regard, Azerbaijani poetry, like Azerbaijani drama, our prose works could not remain indifferent to the problems created by time. As a result, people who carried the horrors of war in their souls and minds even after the war, people who sought ways to get rid of unemployment, despair and other social problems or could not get rid of these problems became the literary heroes of our prose. The article will focus on the works of Sabir Ahmadli and Agil Abbas. In the prose of Azerbaijan in the 2000s, we often see the achievement of our independence, the horrors of the January 20 tragedy, the tragedies of the Karabakh conflict, the deep despair of the social problems of the people. Sabir Ahmadli’s “Ömür urası”(“Hurray of Life”) and Agil Abbas’ s “Dolu” (“Hail”), which we pay more attention to, are about the struggle for independence, the horrors of the Karabakh war, the social problems faced by people, the miserable situation facing society, the death of hopes. The heroes in the works of the above-mentioned writers – commanders, tigers, dragons, teachers, secretaries, etc. are the psychological heroes of the time. The spiritual and psychological world, thoughts and feelings of each of them described in the works formed the socio-political environment of Azerbaijan at that time. In the prose of the 2000s, we will begin to follow the odyssey of the heroes of the period, as if dictated to the author. The human images and characters of the works we are going to discuss are the fruit of the Azerbaijani society of this period. Therefore, during the analysis, we will pay attention to the real event, social situation or historical fact that gave rise to the psychological hero. In this case, we think that we will be able to more accurately analyze the psychological portrait of the hero created by time.
