Literary analysis:
The word water in literature carries a wealth of layered meaning. It can be as literal as the cool liquid used for washing one’s face to begin the day [1] or for quenching thirst in moments of dire need [2, 3]. At the same time, water also symbolizes purification and renewal, echoing themes of ritual cleansing and spiritual rebirth [4]. In other works, it transforms and challenges the setting itself—whether as a conduit that propels epic voyages beneath stormy skies [5] or as an element whose state shifts in response to unseen forces [6]. Thus, water is rendered into a multifaceted motif, one that enriches narrative textures by signifying both the sustenance of life and the transformative power of nature.
