Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis of universal archetypes in Uzbek and Italian folktales. Based on the theory of archetypes, the study highlights the heroic models of the two nations and their connection to the national mentality. The collectivism and moral standards found in Uzbek tales are compared with the individualism and pragmatism characteristic of Italian tales.
