Katherine Mansfield is one of the authors who made a great contribution to the development of the short story genre in English literature. It stands out in world literature with its unique direction and style. Mansfield has a unique approach to writing stories. Many story writers focus on plot sequence in their stories. However, in Mansfield's stories, we see a complication. She, unlike other creators, tried to depict the inner feelings and experiences of the heroes of the story in the leading place, rather than the development of events. In Mansfield's stories, rather than the development of events, the thoughts of the characters are described more widely. She tried to analyze and clearly express the mental state of the characters. The writer's way of ending her stories is also unique. She did not give a ready solution or conclusion to her work. It is often left up to the reader to come to the final deduction. Mansfield considered the Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov to be her mentor. She wrote works influenced by his works. But, nevertheless, we can clearly say that her writing style is also very different from Chekhov's writing style. Because in the stories of A. Chekhov, we observe that laughter and humour took the lead. In many of his stories, he skillfully used humour to attract the reader's attention, to make them interested in the story and, of course, to make his stories extraordinary. However, Mansfield rarely used humour in her works. Her style seems a bit more complicated than Chekhov's because she described more inner experiences. She wrote more about the problems that can be encountered in human life, material and social difficulties, class differences, and disagreements between people. Her works are dominated by scenes of the human psyche and dramatism. In the centre of Mansfield's works, the main issue, the introduction as the 2 10 International scientific journal ISSN: 2181-3906 «MODERN SCIENCE АND RESEARCH» 2023 VOLUME 2 / ISSUE 6 / UIF:8.2 / MODERNSCIENCE.UZ main idea, is the expression of sad mental experiences such as loneliness, stratification, difficulties of poverty, isolation, and injustice. The main innovation in her work was Modernism. This trend was different from the optimism, positivity and certainty of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. In her writings after the First World War, Mansfield encouraged the reader to understand the deception of appearances, the changeability and impermanence of life, especially the deception of momentary joy and happiness, and the transience of the world. "Prologue" is one of Mansfield's favourite subjects. Her works in this interpretation cover the process of learning to survive and fight in a cruel world. In her stories on this topic, young heroines are often at the centre of the work. For example, in the story "The Garden Party" the conflict between Laura and death and the living conditions of the poor is leading. The story "Her First Ball" describes Leila's struggle to understand the falsities and shortcomings of adult life. In the story "The Little Governess", the young governess is deceived by an older man and her trust is broken. One of Katherine Mansfield's earliest, most famous stories is The Tiredness of Rosabel. It interprets the thoughts and inner experiences of the hat seller Rosabel. In the story, Rosabel returns home after a long day at work and begins to dream of a rich husband, a honeymoon after the wedding, and a fulfilling, happy lifestyle. She is so engrossed in her dreams that she falls asleep from exhaustion and continues to dream even in her dreams. The work has similarities with the stories of O. Henry. But at the same time, we also observe totally different aspects. In particular, O. Henry tried to reveal the human character and spiritual world through the events in the story. But in the story of K. Mansfield A.P. Chekhov's influence is greater. In addition to the development of events, she can skillfully
