SYMBOLIC IMAGE OF A BIRD IN THE POETRY OF SAID CHAKHKIEV

Abstract

The article analyzes S. Chakhkiev’s poetic works related to symbols and images of birds. The key themes, symbolic significance, stylistic features, and intertextual references to oral folk art are considered. A comparative analysis of the works is carried out, revealing both common features and differences in their content, form and emotional coloring. The symbolism of birds occupies a special place in Ingush poetry, which has absorbed the rich cultural and historical tradition of the people. Birds soaring in the sky represent the desire for independence and the search for their place in the world; in the poems there are images of eagles and falcons, which symbolize the strength of the spirit and high aspirations. Through the images of these birds, national authors reflect the free spirit of the people. Poets often use images of swallows, cranes, and swans, which emphasize the cyclical nature of life and the eternal bonds between generations. The images of migratory birds create an atmosphere of unity with nature and evoke patriotic feelings, which is especially relevant in the context of historical events experienced by the Ingush people. Birds in S. Chakhkiev’s poetry become not only symbols of hope and striving for freedom, but also a reflection of the complex nature of human existence.
