This article analyzes the artistic and aesthetic function of verbal details in revealing the main idea of Abdulla Qahhor’s story “The Thief”. Although the story is compact in volume, it deeply highlights such issues as social injustice, the indifference of officials, the helplessness of ordinary people, and social inequality. In the story, the main idea is revealed not directly through the author’s narration, but through the speech of the characters, dialogues, forms of address, folk expressions, ironic sentences, and repetitions in speech. In particular, the tone of helplessness, pleading, and despair in Qobil bobo’s speech expresses the social condition of ordinary people, while the coldness, formality, and arrogance in the officials’ speech show the existing system’s indifference to human fate.
