Tragicomedy "The Dead" is certainly a masterpiece of the creative activity by Jalil Mammadguluzadeh. The "Dead" is the most impressive work by Jalil Mammadguluzadeh written against ignorance and prejudice. Of course, the success of tragicomedy was associated with the image of the protagonist Iskender. The article is focused on two opposing forces: the forces of evil in the image of Sheikh Nasrullah, and the forces of good in the image of Iskender. Iskender is a tragic hero, a star shining in the dark. He is a fighter understanding the real situation, but at the same time he has the only weapon in his fight against ignorance: the word. He skillfully uses this weapon, but the ignorant and uneducated environment does not understand him, even does not want to understand. Sheikh Nesrullah who uses religious and Islamic values for his personal interests says to the people who gathered at the cemetery to revive their dead relatives: “Give the names of your dead relatives that you want to be revived”. If one of the persons decided not to revive his dead relative Nesrullah immediately called him because the crook had only one choice: people themselves had to refuse to "revive" their dead relatives. It is one of the most interesting points of the tragicomedy: for various reasons people refused to "revive" their dead relatives and thus they were gradually moving away from the cemetery. It is in this scene Mirza Jalil masterfully expressed that the people still live the naughty фт?� outdated traditions and those traditions have become a major obstacle in the formation of the people as a nation. The biggest truth of "The dead" is that the “dead” are not only those who lie in the grave, but also those who spend their lives in ignorance while they're alive. It is possible to deceive those "dead" as much as desired. It is not without reason that Sheikh Nesrullah appeals to those “dead” in a language that ignorant people do not understand. Only his orders he gives in the language which they understand. It is noted in the article that the author described a typical Azerbaijan village of that period, naive, poor, ignorant and uneducated people lived there. Those people need to work a lot for the transformation into the nation. The similar and distinctive features of the “dead” characters of the tragicomedy "The dead" and the image Novruzali – a hero of the story “Mailbox" by Jalil Mammadguluzadeh are also analyzed in the article. The author comes to the conclusion that despite the fact that the heroes of the “The dead” are aware of the mail or telegraph, they differ from Novruzali only in appearance. The internal disability of Novruzali even more clearly manifested in the characters of “The dead”. The internal disability of Novruzali turns him into a helpless person in the story with mail as well as Haji Hassans transform into toys in the hands of Sheikh Nasrullah in the tragicomedy “The dead”. Although Iskender seems weak in the face of immorality, mischief, and consciousness, his true words form the backbone of the drama. Iskender realizes that in this dark environment evil is more powerful than him. That's why he prefers irony in his style. Jalil Mammadguluzadeh skillfully presents the conflict between the society living with old rules and Iskender.
