This article analyzes the image of the "bride" in connection with society and culture in literature, mythology, and folklore. The concept of image is illuminated in artistic creation as a means of meaning and symbolic symbols, as a concept reflecting the internal psychological state and socio-cultural identity of a person. The mythopoetic roots of the image of the bride in Turkic and Uzbek culture, the formation of folklore within the framework of customs and rituals, are analyzed. The article presents the image of the bride's image through socio-cultural constructs such as femininity, motherhood, clan loyalty, and family devotion. Folklore and ethnological sources reveal the mythological and anthropomorphic features of the image of the bride based on ritual folklore, wedding traditions, and symbols of folklore. At the same time, the reinterpretation of the image of the bride in Uzbek dramaturgy and the comic genre based on a reflective approach, in the context of social and cultural transformations, in particular, in the satirical works of Abdugani Abduvaliyev, is presented with examples. The study shows the diachronic development of the image of the bride from the point of view of national culture, values, and gender studies, its change based on interdependence in modern conditions, and emphasizes the need for systematic research and preservation of Uzbek mythology.
