This paper presents a comparative analysis of the characters in Paulo Coelho’s novels Aleph and The Alchemist, focusing on the binary opposition and intertextuality between them. Both works reflect Coelho’s spiritual philosophy and explore personal growth through mystical journeys. The protagonists, Paulo and Santiago, are guided by their desire to fulfill their Personal Legends, facing internal conflicts, moral dilemmas, and transformative encounters. The study highlights how each character’s development reflects themes of redemption, faith, and self-realization. The author draws parallels between Coelho’s life and his fictional heroes, underlining autobiographical elements in both novels. Through binary opposition—past vs. present, innocence vs. experience, tradition vs. transformation—the analysis unveils the complexity of human growth and destiny. The concept of intertextuality is applied to examine similarities among major and minor characters, including symbolic figures like Hilal and Fatima, and spiritual guides like J. and Melchizedek. Ultimately, the paper argues that both novels emphasize the value of introspection and perseverance in overcoming life’s trials, as well as the profound impact of love and belief. Coelho’s philosophical message encourages readers to embrace their journey, interpret signs from the universe, and remain faithful to their dreams despite hardships.

Ushbu maqola Paulo Koeloning “Alif” va “Alkimyogar” romanlaridagi qahramonlarni qiyosiy tahlil qilishda ularning o‘zaro qarama-qarshiliklari va intertekstual aloqalariga e’tibor qaratadi. Har ikki asar Koeloning ruhiy falsafasini aks ettiradi va shaxsiy o‘sishni mistik sayohatlar orqali yoritadi. Asosiy qahramonlari — Paulo va Santiago — o‘zlarining “shaxsiy afsonasini” amalga oshirish istagi bilan yo‘lga chiqib, ichki ziddiyatlar, axloqiy tanlovlar va hayotni o‘zgartiruvchi uchrashuvlarga duch kelishadi. Tadqiqot har bir qahramonning rivojlanishi orqali poklanish, e’tiqod va o‘zini anglash mavzularini yoritadi. Muallif Koeloning hayoti bilan uning badiiy obrazlari o‘rtasidagi o‘xshashliklarga e’tibor qaratadi va har ikki romandagi avtobiografik jihatlarni ko‘rsatadi. Qarama-qarshiliklar — o‘tmish va hozirgi zamon, beg‘uborlik va tajriba, an’ana va o‘zgarish — orqali inson o‘sishi va taqdirining murakkabligi ochib beriladi. Intertekstual yondashuv orqali Hilal va Fatima kabi ramziy obrazlar hamda J. va Melxisedek ruhiy yo‘l ko‘rsatuvchi qahramonlar o‘rtasidagi o‘xshashliklar tahlil qilinadi. Har ikkala asar yakuni hayotdagi sinovlarni yengib o‘tishda tafakkur va matonat muhimligini, shuningdek, sevgi va e’tiqodning chuqur ta’sirini ta’kidlaydi. Koeloning falsafiy xabari — har bir inson o‘z yo‘lini topib, koinot yuborayotgan ishoralarni tushunib, orzulariga sodiq qolishi kerakligini targ‘ib qiladi.

В статье представлен сравнительный анализ персонажей романов Пауло Коэльо «Алеф» и «Алхимик» с акцентом на бинарные оппозиции и интертекстуальные связи между ними. Оба произведения отражают духовную философию Коэльо и исследуют личностный рост через мистические путешествия. Главные герои — Пауло и Сантьяго — движимы стремлением исполнить свою Личную Легенду, сталкиваясь с внутренними конфликтами, моральными дилеммами и трансформирующими событиями. В исследовании подчеркивается, как развитие каждого персонажа отражает темы искупления, веры и самопознания. Авторы проводят параллели между жизнью Коэльо и его художественными героями, указывая на автобиографические черты в обоих романах. Через бинарные противопоставления — прошлое и настоящее, наивность и опыт, традицию и трансформацию — анализ раскрывает сложность человеческого развития и судьбы. Концепция интертекстуальности применяется для анализа сходства между основными и второстепенными персонажами, включая символические фигуры, такие как Хилал и Фатима, и духовных наставников, как Дж. и Мелхиседек. В конечном итоге работа доказывает, что оба романа подчеркивают важность самоанализа и настойчивости в преодолении жизненных испытаний, а также глубокое влияние любви и веры. Философское послание Коэльо побуждает читателей принять свое жизненное путешествие, уметь читать знаки Вселенной и оставаться верными своим мечтам несмотря ни на что.
