Abstract

The article is devoted to one of the pressing problems of world literary criticism, including Karakalpak literary criticism. It explores the artistic role of types of closed chronotope, such as a state farm, a farm, a garage, an office, a house, a hall, a cemetery using the example of the novel by the famous Karakalpak writer T. Kaipbergenov “The Apple of the Eye”, which depicts the bitter reality of the 70s and early 80s years of the twentieth century, as called a period of stagnation in the history of the people. The author especially pays attention to the genre-forming and plot-forming role of a closed chronotope, which reveals the socio-political views of the artist of the word, their desire to reveal the ideological content of the literature of that era.
