The term "alloy" in literature operates on both literal and metaphorical levels, serving as a bridge between the cold science of metallurgy and the warmth of human emotion. In its literal sense, authors describe metals and coinage—highlighting physical mixtures that alter properties such as strength and purity [1, 2, 3, 4]—while at the same time, the word is deployed metaphorically to evoke the blending of emotions and experiences. Writers capture complex sentiments by referring to feelings as being tinged with an alloy of contradictory states, such as a mixture of joy and sorrow or purity and corruption [5, 6, 7, 8]. This dual capacity enriches the narrative by suggesting that just as a well-made alloy gains distinct qualities from its components, human life is similarly composed of multiple, intermingling aspects that define its character.
