METHODS OF RECREATING THE CHARACTER PORTRAIT IN TRANSLATION OF J.W. GOETHE'S NOVEL “DIE WAHLVERWANDTSCHAFTEN”

Abstract

This thesis analyzes the features of recreating character portrait descriptions in Yanglish Egamova's translation of J.W. Goethe's novel "Die Wahlverwandtschaften" (“Elective Affinities”, Uzbek: “Hamroz dillar”). The primary focus is placed on the portrait elements related to the character of Ottilie, elucidating through comparative examples the use of lexical-semantic transformation, stylistic and pragmatic adaptation, and the manifestation of emotional-expressive equivalence in their translation. The analysis results indicate that in translation, the portrait is recreated not merely as an external depiction, but as a means of expressing the character's spiritual and aesthetic description.
