یونس جاوید کے افسانوی کردار: داخلی کرب، نفسیاتی کشمکش اور سماجی تلخیوں کا امتزاج

Abstract

Yunus Javed is a very influential figure in Urdu drama, novel, and short story writing. His four collections of short stories were published in Urdu at different times. Although he started writing fiction at a time when symbolism and abstract fiction were famous in Urdu, but he chose the path of narrative fiction and presented social realism and psychological conflict in his short stories. This article presents an analytical study of his fictional characters. Yunus Javed's fictional characters are bitter narratives of internal anguish, psychological conflict, and social resentment, but one of their characteristics is that they are all humanists and believe in the philosophy of respect for humanity. His characters also have the quality of breaking the status quo and they are also seen trying to open the layers of social, political, and historical consciousness.
