This article explores the stylistic characteristics of the short fiction of Abdulla Qahhor and Katherine Mansfield with particular emphasis on narrative economy, internal monologue, dialogue, and psychological characterisation. Although these writers belong to different literary traditions, both demonstrate remarkable mastery in portraying the complexity of human consciousness within the limited framework of the short story. The study examines how concise narrative structures contribute to the creation of psychological depth and how internal monologues and dialogues function as tools for revealing the emotional and mental states of characters. Through comparative analysis of selected stories, including Qahhor’s Anor (The Pomegranate) and Mansfield’s Miss Brill, the article identifies common narrative strategies and significant differences in their artistic approaches. The findings suggest that while Qahhor’s realism is strongly connected to social conditions and collective experience, Mansfield’s modernist aesthetics foreground individual perception and subjective consciousness. The research contributes to comparative literary studies by highlighting the universal and culture-specific dimensions of psychological representation in short fiction.
