This article analyzes the literary interpretation of the image of suicide (self-destruction) in Eastern and Western literature from the perspective of comparative literary studies. The psychological portraits of characters inclined to suicide, created by writers, are revealed through their internal conflicts, clashes with society, and existential sufferings. In Western literature, suicide is often associated with personal lack of freedom, spiritual isolation, and the meaninglessness of life, whereas in Eastern literature, this phenomenon is interpreted as a symbol of self-sacrifice, moral purification, and divine love. The article examines representations of suicide in the works of authors such as Shakespeare, Camus, Mishima, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Navoi, Fuzuli, and Hafez.
