Peculiarities of Transformation Motif in Uzbek Written Fairy Tales

Abstract

Analysis of several works of famous Uzbek fairy tale writers shows that the transformation motif they use in their plots has some basic similarities from the position of core idea with the elements present in some traditional Uzbek folktales. The reason of such coincidence lies with the stability of moral values praised by Uzbek people for centuries. The preservation of cultural heritage results in creation of fairy tales that consider modern social changes but resemble traditional folktales from the position of the core message they are aimed to deliver.
