Literary analysis:
In literature, the name “paprika” has been used more as a vivid emblem than just a culinary term. Authors evoke its warm, reddish hue to suggest warmth, vibrancy, or a touch of spice in character or object. For instance, in one work a young girl is affectionately nicknamed “Miss Paprika” [1], an appellation that hints at a fiery or spirited personality through the association with the spice’s striking color. In another example, a “paprika‐brand” novel [2] conjures up an image of something uniquely colored by passion and flavor, suggesting that the very hue of paprika can be as evocative and character-defining as any literary metaphor.
  1. This book is dedicated to my daughter, nicknamed Miss "Paprika" by our pupils.
    — from California Mexican-Spanish Cook Book: Selected Mexican and Spanish Recipes by Bertha Haffner-Ginger
  2. So Bubseley tottered down the walk while Babseley turned out the lights and retired to her room with a bag of candy and a paprika-brand of novel.
    — from The Gorgeous Girl by Nalbro Bartley
