The struggle with life's hardships and the contemplation of suicide are themes that resonate deeply in literature. In both American and Uzbek detective novels, characters often grapple with overwhelming challenges that lead to suicide attempts, reflecting the broader societal issues faced by individuals in these cultures. This research paper will investigate how authors depict the struggle of living with adversity, the motivations behind suicide attempts, and the impact of these portrayals on readers' perceptions of despair and resilience. By analyzing key works and their historical contexts, this study aims to highlight the complex relationship between societal pressures and the personal battles that can lead to such tragic decisions in American and Uzbek narratives.
