FOLKLORE TRADITIONS IN BATYRAY’S WORK

Abstract

The heroes of Batyray’s early songs are characterized by a romantic loftiness of feelings and physical strength, which allows them, like the heroes of fairy tales, to perform incredible actions and heroic deeds. The woman in the image of Batyray is unusually beautiful – agate eyebrows, yakhon eyes, a paper-white forehead, a thin figure. But the greatness of Batyray as a poet lies not only in the fact that he was able to comprehend the folk poetic traditions in creating the image of the highlanders. Based on the analysis of the social structure of the Dargin village, he created realistic examples of representatives of different strata of the then society, expressed love for the hardworking peasant and branded the rich and the clergy with shame. The author concludes that in Batyray’s songs the lyrical conflict is created with the help of folklore symbolic images. Some of them can be used in the same way in relation to a woman and a man. In the Dargin folk lyrics, the process of folding folk song symbolism continued in the era of the separation of singers-improvisers as a group from the larger group of singers.
