The word "smoke" in literature often carries layers of meaning, functioning as both a tangible presence and a rich metaphor. It may denote the physical aftermath of fire and chaos, as when a thick cloud obscures a room or signals ruin, evoking a sense of impending danger or loss ([1], [2]). At other times, smoke represents transient beauty or an elusive trace of memory, rising slowly to etch the sky with delicate wisps that hint at something fading away ([3]). In certain narratives, it even becomes a marker of character or mood—symbolizing habitual indulgence or the fleeting nature of human endeavors, whether in a quiet moment of reflection or amid the frenzy of conflict ([4], [5]). The imagery of smoke can also suggest transformation, as it swirls and mingles with its surroundings, blurring the lines between clarity and obscurity, vitality and decay. Whether serving as a vivid depiction of the physical world or a deeper emblem of internal states, smoke weaves a subtle yet powerful presence throughout literary works ([6]).
