This article analyzes Chingiz Aitmatov's novel "My Poplar in a Red Kerchief" from the perspective of the concept of woman's happiness through the acceptance of love and protection. The author examines the dilemma facing the main character, Asel, which is the choice between an unconditional but destructive love-passion and a reliable, constructive feeling of care. An analysis of the characters Ilyas and Baitemir reveals two different types of masculine essence: destructive but passionate love-selfishness and calm, responsible love-care. The article asserts that Aitmatov, without rejecting the value of genuine love, concludes that for a woman, happiness lies not so much in loving herself, but in being truly loved, protected, and valued.
