INTRODUCTION
One of the greatest blessings for a person is the
freedom of the Motherland. Because the fate of the
people born without free will in the colonial
environment is represented by the tragedy of their
nation. The Mustabid regime and the human problem
of this period have always occupied a central place in
literature and will remain so. The period makes certain
changes in the character of man, but cannot
completely change his basic nature. Weak and soft
signs are easily affected by the transient environment,
but in stable signs, resistance to the influence of time
and environment is strong. From this point of view,
Sharaf Boshbekov's tragicomedy "Iron Woman" sheds
light on the social life and human tragedy of the era of

the tyrants through the characters of Kochkor, Kumri,
Olimjon, and Alamat. One of the main characters of the
play is the image of Kumri. The main idea assigned to
this hero was to reveal that the delicate div of Uzbek
women at that time was subjected to hard work that
even iron could not withstand. It should also be noted
that although the character of Kumri appears as an
episodic character, in fact, the dramatist imposes his
main idea on him. Sharof Boshbekov regretfully recalls
that he portrayed his mother in the image of Kumri: "If
my mother did not go out to the field for a day, the
ordinary foreman of the collective farm would come to
our house early in the morning and would not get off
his horse and threaten my mother. There were times
when my father, who lost his life in cotton work, would
ask her to forgive him and kneel at his feet. . was. I still
can't remember how many times my father took a rifle
and said that he would shoot the brigadier. At that
time, many Uzbek women set themselves on fire,
unable to endure such humiliation and humiliation. The
image of Kumri in "The Iron Woman" was the image of
my mother, who came into the world and spent her life
only in the fields, livelihood, and children.[1]. In the
1960s, and partly in the 1970s, the importance of
sociality was high in literature, so it was difficult to find
a place for the hero's domestic life in the work. This
was not only a characteristic of Uzbek literature, but
also of Shura literature. Since the 1960s, Odil Yaqubov,
Pirimkul Kadyrov, and later Shukur Kholmirzaev began
to focus on showing with their works that his
household life also plays an important role in reflecting
the complete image of the hero. In the work of a group
of artists called the generation of prose writers of the
70s - M.M.Do'st, T.Murod, N.Kabul, H.Sultanov,
E.Azam, H.Dostmuhammad and others, special
attention was paid to the image of the hero's domestic
life[2].
In fact, when a person thinks about life, often complex
and difficult events like the tragedy of Ferm opil attract
his attention. In addition to the strong psychological
impact of such tragic or complex events on the human
mind and feelings, there is another important fact
here: there are more useful lessons for a person in the
complex events of life. Remembering the above stanza
quoted by Herodotus, Hegel notes that the stanza
belongs to a poetic creation and notes that it contains
a deep and noble content (the patriotism of the
Spartans): in the volatile, violent, dramatic and tragic
situations of human life, the laws of life and human
qualities are revealed with a special brilliance. will be It
is no coincidence that such historical events form the
content of the dramatic works of famous writers such
as Aeschylus, Sophocles, Shakespeare, Cornell,
Schiller, Pushkin and Hamza[3].
At the beginning of the war, Uzbek women helped
their fathers, brothers and husbands who went to war,
in field work, including driving a tractor, picking cotton,
and in general, they did hard work. Until October 15,

1941, 800 women issued a call to "take the place of the
young men who went to the front" [3]
In the tragicomedy, priority is given to the dialogue
between the characters of Kochkor and Olimjon in
revealing the above idea.
Olim. He hasn't rested for a minute, poor thing, a
minute! Wash, clean, straighten, patch, sweep! Brings
water from a mile away and washes clothes! You have
insatiable livestock: feed, feed and water from
morning till night! The dough is blackened, the cow is
milked, the kuvi is cooked! Is this the end of your
house? In addition, it goes out into the field! He picks
cotton by bending over a thousand bowls! Carrying
forty-fifty kilos of things, he goes to the threshing
floor! After all, how can he endure the torments of
hell?! After all, he is iron, Brother Kochkor, iron!... He
must be guarded, you must be careful!... He does not
think about himself, he has no words to say that he is
in trouble. Do you have to use him like a donkey
because he is silent?! Is it necessary to memorize "Paq"
until the soul dies?! No, you are a hard-hearted man,
Qo‘chqor aka!
Kuchkar. Repentance... If I ordered the sign to do any
extra work, I will die without hesitation... What has he
done?.. He has not yet given birth to seven or eight
children in a row, he does not sleep at night. she didn't
hug me, she got sick a thousand times with every child,
and I didn't recover a thousand times... After all, one
Uzbek woman did half of the work!... I killed her. will
be?..”[4].
It is at the core of this dialogue that the true character
of an Uzbek woman is seen. So much work and so
much worry is done by one delicate woman. That is, an
Uzbek woman. In which nation have you heard that
there are many women who give birth to more than
ten children? What kind of weaklings of the nation can
do so many things without saying "grunt"? We call a
woman weak, but she is burdened with so much. The
image of women in the work is particularly
noteworthy, because our country was transformed
into a cotton-growing region. The hard work of cotton
is entrusted to women and children. Healthy men and
women are drawn to the war and the front. In later
times, most of the families did not have a man, or they
returned physically and mentally injured from the war
and frontline work. There are no such people in the
play "Iron Woman".
However, a fragment of the life of generations of such
oppressed people is described. A ram drinks to forget
the pains in his life. He rebels when he is drunk.
However, this was only a rebellion against himself.
According to the laws of life and literature, any
obedient and mute person will rebel at least once in his
life. The pains and sufferings that have accumulated in
the darkest depths of his heart for years spill over and
"explode" on the surface. This state of the ram is
clearly manifested in the hypnosis scene. The sign

hypnotizes Aries. The truths that the ram does not
want to admit are told in the language of signs. The
portals of mental suffering of the hero, who could not
deny them, burst out like a volcano.
Alomat. That's all - you won't complain. You're used to
it. Wounds turned to stone - no pain. You can't scream,
you can't even moan, brother Ram? You spend your life
thinking that "this is how they say life will be". You are
afraid, ashamed, and unable to notice the displeasure
flickering in some corners of your heart that you don't
even know about!
True, when your dignity is publicly insulted, that
flickering ember catches fire and you try to extinguish
it with vodka. Looking at the world with sympathetic
eyes, you will find comfort, you will be comforted to
some extent. But the next day you will be in a good
mood and the world will be back to normal! Then you
will not find a place to put yourself, there is no place to
put your fist-sized div in the boundless universe!

We can come to the following conclusion from the
above considerations. An image in a work of art is an
image of a person at a certain level, and it is not just a
copy of a person in life, but an artistic reflection of the
writer's vision of a person living in a certain period and
conditions. It contains the most important and
characteristic features of a person of a certain period
and environment. In the play "The Iron Woman", the
Uzbek people's freedom, the hard work of the people
during the colonial period, and the worthlessness of
the person. Children are forced to work in the fields
instead of studying. It is reported that mothers leave
their nursing children and go to the cotton field. It is
said that in such a social life, there is no hope for the
future of the nation and children.
