The protagonist of the epic, Rustam, grew up strong, brave and courageous. In the course of the story, Rustam's fearlessness and courage, as well as his true human qualities, can be seen. Rustam did not panic when his compatriots slandered his mother and tried to hang her. After rescuing his mother from the hands of the executioners, he set out on a journey, saying, "The way of the lost is the way," and settled down on Mount Hukumu and began to make a living by hunting.
One hunting day, Rustam sees a happy girl tied to a grass and finds out that she is standing to feed the dragon. Upon hearing the news, Rustam goes to war with the dragon. Oftoboy begs and tries to get Rustam back from his covenant, but the brave Rustam says: Mar25 with dragon
The sage fights, defeats him and saves the girl from death. The land of Bujul, freed from the tyranny of the dragon, elevates Rustam to the throne and marries Oftoboyim. Having chosen a free and simple way of life, Rustam relinquished the kingdom three days later and returned to his mother with his beloved. Thus, in the epic, the image of Rustam is embodied as a simple, courageous and fearless, physically strong man, a loving child and a loyal companion.
The epic also features a number of female characters. In particular, the images of Hurayim and Oftoboyim stand out. Their qualities of beauty, wisdom, devotion and kindness are convincingly described in the course of the epic. In particular, Oftoboy is an incomparably beautiful girl. Rustam, who saw him for the first time, addresses him as follows:
Angelic picture, charming with a flower face,
Anyone who sees you will be unstable.
You have more than a month and a day
What did he do to you?
The sun has the same intelligence and ingenuity as this beauty. These qualities are also seen when the Sultan repents of his deeds and comes in the form of a dervish to apologize to his son and wife. Oftoboy is portrayed in the epic as a wise bride, a beloved companion.
One of the main characters in the epic is Hurayim. Hurayim gave Sultankhan a son, but in return he suffered a lot. He will not give up, even when his countrymen expel him, when death casts a shadow, or when he lives in hardship in another country. His good character and wisdom helped him to get rid of all troubles. When Rustam tried to kill Sultankhan, who had come as a dervish, with a sword, it became clear that Hurayim was a thoughtful woman, a wise mother, and a forgiving companion:
"My child!" Said Rustamday, dying.
- He repented and came looking for himself, 26
What happened to you, boy?
Anyway, lamb, don't be arrogant,
"Rustam ran away from his father," he said
Don't say that, lamb.
In the epic, Sultankhan is described as a reckless, trustworthy nickname, a weak man, even though he was a king. During the events of the saga, Sultankhan made many mistakes. Momogul was deceived by the Maston conspiracy, separated from her family, wife and children, and sentenced to live without them. At the end of the story, Sultankhan realizes his mistakes and apologizes to his wife and son. He rebuilds his family and begins to correct his mistakes. He punishes the wicked.
A number of other characters in the epic also serve as a convincing account of events.
