A Comparative Study of Punishment, Guilt and Forgiveness in The Works of John Milton and Abdulla Oripov
Abstract
This research investigates the interconnected themes of punishment, guilt, and forgiveness in the literary works of John Milton and Abdulla Oripov. Although they come from distinct cultural and historical backgrounds, both writers delve into these universal moral themes, employing poetic language to examine spiritual shortcomings, divine justice, and the concept of redemption. Through a comparative analysis of their literature, the study underscores how Milton’s theological principles and Oripov’s national-religious perspective reveal comparable moral structures, albeit articulated through different symbolic frameworks. The results indicate a transcultural dialogue concerning sin and salvation that enhances global literary comprehension.
